并寻求亚裔美国人亚群体健康差异的数据。关于亚裔美国人亚群的数据很少,许多健康差异仍然未知。本咨询的目的是强调亚裔美国人心血管疾病(CVD)现有研究的差距,并代表美国心脏协会呼吁采取行动,解决这些领域的需求。亚裔美国人是美国增长最快的种族/族裔群体,占美国所有外国出生人口的25%,预计到2050年将达到近3400万。几项主要的联邦调查(如美国社区调查、全国健康访谈调查和行为风险因素监测调查)最近才开始将亚裔美国人分为7个亚组:亚洲印度人、中国人、菲律宾人、韩国人、日本人、越南人和其他亚洲人。4尽管从这些主要的联邦调查中可以获得一些关于亚洲亚群体的数据,但总的来说,由于样本量小而引起的隐私问题,这些数据不能供公众使用
Americans and to seek data on the health disparities in Asian American subgroups. 1 Data on Asian American subgroups are scarce and many health disparities remain unknown. The purpose of this Advisory is to highlight the gaps in existing research on cardiovascular disease (CVD) among Asian Americans, and to serve as a call to action on behalf of the American Heart Association to address these areas of need.Asian Americans are the fastest growing racial/ethnic group in the United States, representing 25% of all foreignborn people in the United States. 2 They are projected to reach nearly 34 million by 2050. 3 Several major Federal surveys (eg, the American Community Survey, the National Health Interview Survey, and the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey) only recently started to classify Asian Americans into 7 subgroups: Asian Indian, Chinese, Filipino, Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, and Other Asian. The first six of these subgroups together constitute 90% of Asian Americans in the United States. 4 Although some data are available on Asian subgroups from these major federal surveys, in general, these data are not available for public use because of the privacy concerns resulting from the small sample sizes
