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.

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

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.
