“…We found that obesity, decreased physical activity, lack of knowledge about diabetes, and advanced age are significantly associated with low HDL in this population. AIs who have lived in the United States for greater than 10 years are more likely to have a sedentary lifestyle, increased obesity, and increased risk of diabetes type 2[ 43 ]. Ghai et al[ 44 ] compared an AI cohort to a White non-Hispanic cohort.…”

AIMTo examine the differences in metabolic risk factors (RFs) by gender in the Asian Indian (AI) population in the United States.METHODSUsing cross-sectional data from 1038 randomly selected Asian Indians, we investigated the relationship between metabolic syndrome (MetS) RFs, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes.RESULTSA greater percent of women in this group had increased waist circumference and low high density lipoprotein (HDL) levels than men, but AI males had increased blood glucose, increased blood pressure, and increased triglycerides compared to females. Those individuals who met the MetS criteria had increased cardiovascular disease. One of the biggest single RFs for cardiovascular disease and diabetes reported in the literature for AIs is low HDL.CONCLUSIONOur results show that lack of knowledge about diabetes, low physical activity, increased body mass index, and age were the factors most significantly correlated with low HDL in this population. Future studies and prospective trials are needed to further elucidate causes of the MetS and diabetes in AIs.

“…These differences may be related to the metabolic effects of the western-style diet, or tissue resistance to insulin. One study reported that Asian Indian people have the highest incidence of DM when compared to other Asian people [ 26 ]. The Southall And Brent Revisited (SABRE) study ( n = 1007) that observed South Asian men 40–69 years of age living in North and West London for 19 years until 2011 reported a 35% incidence of DM [ 11 ].…”

(1) Objective: This study examined the incidence and risk factors contributing to the progression to diabetes mellitus (DM) in a seven-year follow-up study of non-diabetic National Health Examinees. (2) Methods: For this retrospective observational cohort study, we used two national representative databases: the National Health Screening (HEALS) database 2009 and the National Health Insurance Service (NHIS) database 2009–2015. The eligible subjects without DM with blood sugar levels of <126 mg/dL were selected using the HEALS database. The subsequent follow-up and clinical outcomes were evaluated using the NHIS database. Cox proportional hazard regression was applied to examine the effects of the covariates on progression to diabetes. (3) Results: Among those who took part in the national health screening in 2009, 4,205,006 subjects who met the eligibility criteria were selected. Of these, 587,015 were diagnosed with DM during the follow-up by 2015. The incidence of progression from non-diabetes to DM was 14.0%, whereas that from impaired fasting glucose (IFG) to DM was 21.9%. Compared to the normal group, the newly diagnosed DM group was more likely to comprise older, female, currently smoking, and high-risk drinking participants and participants with IFG, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and metabolic syndrome. (4) Conclusions: This epidemiological study in the Republic of Korea found risk factors similar to those of other studies, but the incidence of progression to DM was 22.8 per 1000 person-years, which is higher than that previously reported. Hence, more care is needed to prevent DM.

“…Despite a surge in investigation of chronic diseases in Asian Americans and its subgroups, population-based studies on DM prevalence among migrant Asian Indians in the United States are limited due to small sample size, use of purposive sampling and/or specific subgroups in various regions that limits the generalizability of the results, increase measurement errors in risk factors, or lack a comparison group [21][22][23][24]. For example, a 2004 communitybased survey that included only Asian Indians living in the metro area of Georgia, Atlanta, found that 18.3% had DM [25].…”

Higher prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) has been documented among South Asians living in the United States. However, combining the south Asian subgroups into one category masks the heterogeneity in the diagnosed DM, after controlling for known protective and risk factors. We assessed the association of Asian Indian ethnicity to diagnosed DM using a nationally representative sample of 1,986 Asian Indian adults in the US compared to 109,072 Non-Hispanic Whites (NHWs) using disaggregated data from the National Health Interview Survey (2012–2016) (NHIS). 2010 US census figures were used for age-sex standardization. Age-sex adjusted prevalence of DM was 8.3% in Asian Indians as compared to 5.8% in NHW. In adjusted multivariable logistic regression models, Asian Indians had higher odds ratios of reporting diagnosed DM compared to NHWs (AOR = 1.39, 95% CI: 1.12, 1.71). This association remained strong and significant even after controlling for other risk factors in the model (AOR = 1.47, 95% CI: 1.16, 1.85). Results suggest a favorable socio-economic profile of Asian Indians was not protective on diagnosed DM. In addition, they were more likely to have diagnosed DM due to higher prevalence of obesity despite healthier behaviors of smoking and exercise.
