Cardiometabolic Health in Asian American Children: a NHANES Study.

A study comparing the cardiometabolic health of Asian American children and Non-Hispanic White (NHW) children found that Asian American children had lower rates of obesity but worse glucose intolerance, higher uric acid levels, more dyslipidemia, and more microalbuminuria compared to NHW children. Among Asian American children, those born in the United States had worse cardiometabolic health profiles compared to foreign-born Asian Americans. The study did not find any differences in blood pressure based on racial group or place of birth. This information is based on a preprint abstract and has not been peer-reviewed.
