Differences in the Age of Diagnosis of Diabetes in Asian Subgroups: Analysis of Data from the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) 2006-2018

Abstract

Asians have been shown to have a 60% higher prevalence of diabetes than Non-Hispanic Whites (NHWs), with the risk being substantially worse for Asian Indians and Filipinos. The age of diagnosis of diabetes for these subgroups can be a critical indicator of health disparities and may explain the difference in prevalence.
