We describe cardiovascular health (CVH) in second-generation (U.S.-born) South Asian Americans in the MASALA study, a population for whom CVH is not previously described. CVH factors in second-generation (N = 21) compared with first-generation (N = 495) South Asian Americans included: total cholesterol (199 ± 31 versus 191 ± 35 mg/dL, p = 0.25), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (121 ± 27 versus 115 ± 30 mg/dL, p = 0.41), triglycerides (163 ± 197 versus 138 ± 72 mg/dL, p = 0.10), diet score (66 ± 8 versus 70 ± 6 points, p = 0.06), BMI (27.6 ± 4.9 versus 26.2 ± 4.1 kg/m, p = 0.12), and CAC prevalence (26.3% versus 23.9%, p = 0.34). Age- and sex-adjusted differences were not statistically significant. Further investigation of CVH in this risk-enhanced population may help identify differences between second-generation and first-generation immigrant South Asians in the U.S.
我们在 MASALA 研究中描述了第二代（美国出生）南亚裔美国人的心血管健康 (CVH)，这是一个以前没有描述过 CVH 的人群。与第一代南亚裔美国人（N=495）相比，第二代南亚裔美国人（N=21）的 CVH 因素包括：总胆固醇（199±31 与 191±35mg/dL，p=0.25）、低密度脂蛋白胆固醇（121±27 与 115±30mg/dL，p=0.41）、甘油三酯（163±197 与 138±72mg/dL，p=0.10）、饮食评分（66±8 与 70±6 分，p=0.06）、BMI（27.6±4.9 与 26.2±4.1kg/m，p=0.12）和 CAC 患病率（26.3%与 23.9%，p=0.34）。年龄和性别调整后的差异没有统计学意义。进一步研究这种风险增强人群的 CVH 可能有助于确定美国第二代和第一代移民南亚裔之间的差异。
