“…Responding to the dearth of data on older Asian Americans and the persistent challenges in reaching out to them [17][18][19][20], we harmonized two sets of data from older Chinese and Korean Americans (PINE and SOKA), which were independently collected using culturally and linguistically sensitive approaches. With a combined sample size of 5,063, the harmonized data demonstrated similarities and differences in physical and mental health between older Chinese and Korean Americans and provided support for our hypothesized mediation model of selfrated health.…”

“…In the present study, we examine the mediating role of self-rated health in two large Asian subgroups: older Chinese and Korean Americans. Due in large part to language barriers, older Asian Americans are often underrepresented in national studies which are based on Englishonly surveys [17][18][19][20]. Also, Asian American subgroups are often combined into one group, with their ethnic variations rarely considered.…”

In the present study, we examined self-rated health as a mediator between physical health conditions (chronic diseases and functional disability) and depressive symptoms in older Chinese and Korean Americans. Using harmonized data (N = 5,063) from the Population Study of Chinese Elderly (PINE) and the Study of Older Korean Americans (SOKA), we tested direct and indirect effect models. In both groups, chronic diseases and functional disability were closely associated with negative ratings of health and symptoms of depression. Analyses with the PROCESS macro showed that the effect of chronic diseases and functional disability on depressive symptoms was mediated by self-rated health in both groups; the indirect effect was greater in the Korean American sample than in the Chinese American sample. These findings contribute to the understanding of the psychological mechanisms that underlie the mind–body connection and highlight the potential importance of subjective health assessment as a useful tool for health promotion.

“…1 Based on prevalence data, South Asians in the USA are a high-risk population for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), 2–5 but remain under-represented in clinical research and prospective studies. 6 It is unknown if South Asians experience a relatively rapid rate of transition through the natural history of T2DM development, and if they have high rates of incident prediabetes and diabetes. A recent population-based study from urban South India assessed the incidence rates of diabetes and the rates of conversion through differing stages of dysglycemia over a 10-year period.…”

IntroductionSouth Asians have a high prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This may be associated with high rates of conversion through the natural history of disease. However, there is a paucity of data on prediabetes and T2DM incidence and related predictors in South Asians in the USA.Research design and methodsWe estimated prediabetes and T2DM incidence after 5 years of follow-up in the Mediators of Atherosclerosis in South Asians Living in America study (n=481) and examined the associated correlates. We defined T2DM and prediabetes using the American Diabetes Association criteria. Prediabetes included isolated impaired fasting glucose (iIFG), isolated impaired glucose tolerance (iIGT) and combined IFG and IGT.ResultsOverall, 152 (32%, 95% CI: 27.6 to 35.9) individuals progressed either from normal glucose tolerance to prediabetes or T2DM, or from prediabetes to T2DM. In standardised logistic regression models controlling for age and sex, only hepatic fat attenuation (increased hepatic fat) (OR: 0.67 (95% CI: 0.55 to 0.87) per SD, visceral fat area (OR: 1.36 (95% CI: 1.06 to 1.74) per SD and hypertension (OR: 2.21 (95% CI: 1.44 to 3.40) were associated with any glycemic progression.ConclusionsSouth Asians in the USA have a high incidence of dysglycemia. Hepatic and visceral fat may be factors in glycemic progression, and prevention efforts should target ectopic fat reduction.

“…This implies a mismatch of initiatives to improve nutrition for Hispanic and Asian American children. Incompatible cultural policies and programs, lack of attention to equitable implementation, and prolonged disparate funding will lead to greater disparities in obesity and nutrition over time for Hispanic and Asian American children ( 8 , 9 ).…”

Disparities in Sources of Added Sugars and High Glycemic Index Foods in Diets of US Children, 2011–2016

What is already known on this topic? Added sugars and high glycemic index (GI) foods may contribute to the development of cardiometabolic conditions. No studies have investigated whether or not there are racial/ethnic differences in the consumption of top sources of added sugars or high GI foods among children. What is addressed by this article? Our study determined whether the consumption of top sources of added sugars and high GI foods among children in the United States differed by race/ethnicity. What are the implications for public health practice? Products with hidden added sugars contribute greatly to added sugar intake. High GI food intake was highest among Asian Americans for whom rice is a staple. Findings underscore the need to account for sociocultural differences when creating dietary modification strategies.
