1986年12月，在圣地亚哥的一家社区卫生机构，对117名印度支那成年人进行了心脏病危险因素筛查。两个水平的过度风险，中度-高和高，被分类定义为血压，总胆固醇，吸烟和肥胖。总体而言，61%的人在至少一个类别中处于中高或高风险，34%的人处于高风险。收缩压、舒张压和总胆固醇与年龄呈正相关，种族是胆固醇、体重指数和吸烟的重要协变量。与其他印度支那人相比，苗族人的平均胆固醇水平明显较低，在调整年龄和体重后仍然如此。在越南男性和年轻的印度支那男性中发现吸烟率很高。如果得到证实，印度支那难民和移民中心脏病危险因素的高患病率表明，心血管健康教育计划在印度支那社区是适当的。
One hundred seventeen Indochinese adults were screened for heart disease risk factors at a San Diego community health facility during December 1986. Two levels of excess risk, moderate-high and high, were categorically defined for blood pressure, total cholesterol, cigarette smoking, and obesity. Overall, 61% were at moderate-high or high risk in at least one category,and 34% were at high risk by these criteria. Systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and total cholesterol were positively correlated to age, and ethnicity was a significant covariate for cholesterol, body mass index, and cigarette smoking. The Hmong, compared with other Indochinese, had a significantly lower mean cholesterol level, which remained after adjusting for age and body mass. High rates of cigarette smoking were found among Vietnamese men and young Indochinese men. If confirmed, the high prevalence of heart disease risk factors in Indochinese refugees and immigrants suggests that cardiovascular health education programs are appropriate in Indochinese communities.
