How do SDOH impact CV health in individual disaggregated Asian ethnic groups?

A thread🧵:

[Nilay Shah @NilayShahMDMPH]

Do US Asians get equitable MI quality of care?

In @AHAScience GWTG of >700 US hospitals,

Door-to-balloon time <90 mins less likely in Indian men, Filipina women vs. White

OMT for MI less likely in Korean men vs White

@CircOutcomes: https://t.co/snAij7CUE4

[JAMA Cardiology @JAMACardio]

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.

Critical evidence for #SouthAsianCVD, SAHELI results teach us about
☑️Effectiveness of health edu/counseling interventions for SAs, & where to go from here
☑️Adapting for diverse populations
☑️Importance of community engagement & partnership

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

[Powell O. Jose, MD @PowellJose]

@ankurnagpal Research on #SouthAsianCVD has exploded over the last decade.

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

[MASALA Study @masala_study]

Shubh Diwali and Saal Mubarak to those who celebrate in our extended MASALA family!

As we celebrate the victory of light over darkness, good over evil, knowledge over ignorance, may the lights of Diwali guide us to a more peaceful future for all of humanity. 🪔

What does being overweight in your 20s, 30s, and 40s mean for your later life?

Especially for South Asian Americans, the implications might be more significant than you think.

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

[Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal]

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. https://t.co/QdsdwqGJNs

[Nilay Shah @NilayShahMDMPH]

A terrific conversation with @LucyVN & @Raykris1 about @masala_study @MASALA2G, #SouthAsianCVD — much to unpack about food, diet, culture, and heart health in South Asians. Thanks @wherewelive @wnpr highlighting our work!
