OBJECTIVE
This study examined the association between metabolic syndrome, lifestyle behaviors, and perception and knowledge of current health and cardiovascular disease (CVD) among Asian Indians in the US.
METHOD
The sample comprised of 143 adult Asian Indians recruited through health fairs for survey and bioclinical measures.
RESULTS
The prevalence of metabolic syndrome was 32%, much higher than other ethnic groups, did not vary by gender but increased with age. Respondents had high physical inactivity and poor knowledge of CVD risk factors. Dietary behavior, age, number of years lived in the US, self-rated physical and mental health and BMI were significant predictors and explained 40.1% of variance in metabolic syndrome score. Poorer physical health status had the greatest predictive influence on metabolic syndrome.
CONCLUSION
Asian Indians are a high risk group for CVD.
目的
本研究调查了美国亚洲印度人群中代谢综合征、生活方式行为以及对当前健康状况和心血管疾病（CVD）的认知与了解之间的关联。
方法
样本包括通过健康博览会招募的143名成年亚洲印度人，进行了调查和生物临床测量。
结果
代谢综合征的患病率为32%，远高于其他种族群体，且不因性别而异，但随年龄增长而增加。受访者身体活动水平低，对心血管疾病风险因素的了解不足。饮食行为、年龄、在美国居住的年数、自我评定的身心健康状况和体重指数是代谢综合征得分的显著预测因素，解释了40.1%的方差。较差的身体健康状况对代谢综合征的预测影响最大。
结论
亚洲印度人是心血管疾病的高危人群。
