1/ I would like to take a few minutes to review increased risk of heart diseases in South Asians (if you are from Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan or Sri Lanka – this is you!). @globalsouthAsians @SouthAsianAnd @BrownGirlMag @SouthAsians4USA @masala_study 2/ South asians experience ischemic heart disease at a younger age, and at a higher rate. In the event, we do develop ischemic heart disease, we are more likely to die from it. Increased risk of heart disease attributable to higher prevalence of diabetes and high cholesterol.
