TI  - Type 2 diabetes among Asian Americans: Prevalence and prevention.
PG  - 543-7
LID - 10.4239/wjd.v6.i4.543 [doi]
AB  - Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a growing problem among Asian Americans. Based 
      on the Centers for Disease Control, the age-adjusted prevalence of T2DM for Asian 
      Americans is 9%, placing them at "moderate risk". However differential patterns 
      of disease burden emerge when examining disaggregated data across Asian American 
      ethnic groups; with Filipino, Pacific Islander, Japanese, and South Asian groups 
      consistently described as having the highest prevalence of T2DM. Disentangling 
      and strengthening prevalence data is vital for on-going prevention efforts. The 
      strongest evidence currently available to guide the prevention of T2DM in the 
      United States comes from a large multicenter randomized clinical control trial 
      called the Diabetes Prevention Program, which targets individual lifestyle 
      behavior changes. It has been translated and adopted for some Asian American 
      groups, and shows promise. However stronger study designs and attention to 
      several key methodological considerations will improve the science. Increased 
      attention has also been directed toward population level downstream prevention 
      efforts. Building an infrastructure that includes both individual and population 
      approaches is needed to prevent T2DM among Asian American populations, and is 
      essential for reducing health disparities.
