Among US South Asian adults, a culturally adapted group lifestyle intervention led to small improvements in self-reported health behaviors but was not more effective than written health education materials for CVD risk factor reduction. https://t.co/WSoeOBKHDe

@ankurnagpal @jaideeppatelmd @AAgarwalaMD @pnatarajanmd @RomitB_MD @amehta_09 @dranandrohatgi @PSatishMD @NilayShahMDMPH @KevinShahMD @NammiKan @alka_kanaya @DrMarthaGulati Check out @masala_study @MASALA2G @ourhealthstudy Spread the word to enroll 🙏🏾 Early CVD in #SouthAsians is complex/multifactorial. Can’t oversimplify with 1 reason or score or lab test But we need better execution of widespread screening & education on diet/lifestyle changes

Something every South Asian needs to come to grip with: We need to work substantially harder on our metabolic health and exercise than other ethnicities Different studies show we're anywhere from 4 to 6 times more likely to suffer heart disease and Type 2 diabetes

The MASALA-2G Study, the only study dedicated to advancing health in second generation South Asian Americans, is proud to support @RepJayapal @RepJoeWilson and this legislation! @nih_nhlbi @MASALA2G
Today, I introduced my bipartisan South Asian Heart Health Awareness and Research Act with @RepJoeWilson, legislation to raise awareness and put resources toward the alarming rate of heart disease for South Asians across the United States.

Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders are at risk for developing diabetes at lower weights and younger ages than others. Doctors are working from the inside the community to make people healthier.

Epidemiology of ischemic heart disease in Asian American subgroups -- the imperative to prevent grows stronger @HeartDocSadiya @StanfordCAREs
In the US in 2018-2020, a higher proportion of mortality from ischemic heart disease was observed among Asian Indian, Chinese, and Filipino decedents compared with White decedents. https://t.co/FcLJCuGte0
