South Asians are at an elevated risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) when compared with other age-matched subjects of varied ethnicities. The elevated ASCVD risk is multifactorial including a constellation of hypertension, dyslipidemia, metabolic syndrome, overweight/obesity, prediabetes, and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Although traditional ASCVD risk factors remain highly prevalent in South Asians living in the United States, modifiable risk factors of diet, lack of physical activity/increased sedentary time, smoking (of all forms), and excessive alcohol consumption further accelerate the disease process. In this review, we take a deep dive into optimizing lifestyle to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease in this high-risk ethnic group.
与其他不同种族的同龄人群相比，南亚人患动脉粥样硬化性心血管疾病（ASCVD）的风险较高。这种 ASCVD 风险升高是多因素的，包括一系列高血压、血脂异常、代谢综合征、超重/肥胖、糖尿病前期和 2 型糖尿病。尽管生活在美国的南亚人仍然存在大量的传统 ASCVD 危险因素，但饮食、缺乏身体活动/增加久坐时间、吸烟（包括所有形式）和过量饮酒等可改变的危险因素会进一步加速疾病进程。在这篇综述中，我们深入探讨了如何优化生活方式以降低这个高风险种族群体的心血管疾病风险。
