Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders (NHPI) have higher rates of excess body weight and related medical disorders, such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease, compared to other ethnic groups in Hawai'i. To address this metabolic health inequity, the Partnership for Improving Lifestyle Intervention (PILI) 'Ohana Project, a community-academic partnership, was formed over eight years ago and developed two community-placed health promotion programs: the PILI Lifestyle Program (PLP) to address overweight/obesity and the Partners in Care (PIC) to address diabetes self-care. This article describes and reviews the innovations, scientific discoveries, and community capacity built over the last eight years by the PILI 'Ohana Project's (POP) partnership in working toward metabolic health equity. It also briefly describes the plans to disseminate and implement the PLP and PIC in other NHPI communities. Highlighted in this article is how scientific discoveries can have a real-world impact on health disparate populations by integrating community wisdom and academic expertise to achieve social and health equity through research.
与夏威夷其他种族群体相比，夏威夷原住民和太平洋岛民（NHPI）超重及患糖尿病和心血管疾病等相关医学疾病的比例更高。为解决这种代谢健康方面的不平等问题，八年前成立了改善生活方式干预伙伴关系（PILI）“奥哈纳”项目，这是一个社区与学术机构的合作项目，并制定了两个社区健康促进项目：解决超重/肥胖问题的PILI生活方式项目（PLP）和解决糖尿病自我护理问题的护理伙伴项目（PIC）。本文描述并回顾了PILI“奥哈纳”项目（POP）伙伴关系在过去八年中为实现代谢健康公平所开展的创新、科学发现以及建立的社区能力。文章还简要介绍了在其他NHPI社区推广和实施PLP及PIC的计划。本文重点介绍了科学发现如何通过整合社区智慧和学术专业知识，对健康状况存在差异的人群产生现实影响，从而通过研究实现社会和健康公平。
