AHA highlights the need to assess Asian American subgroups individually to get a more accurate picture of their risk for diabetes and heart disease.
In a new scientific statement, the American Heart Association highlights the need to assess Asian American subgroups individually to get a more accurate picture of their risk for diabetes and heart disease.
Yet, there is significant variability in prevalence and risk factors within the different subgroups, the writing group points out. Yet most studies to date aggregate Asian Americans in a single group and do not examine the subgroups individually, which is a challenge to providing evidence-based recommendations, the writing group says.
The writing group also notes that existing CVD risk calculators — which are based on data validated in non-Hispanic Black adults and non-Hispanic White adults and less extensively studied in Asian Americans — may underestimate the risk of T2D and heart disease in South Asian adults, those of lower socioeconomic status or those with chronic inflammatory diseases.
