Disparities in Diabetes Prevalence Among Native Hawaiians/Other Pacific Islanders and Asians in Hawai‘i

Abstract

NHOPIs and Filipinos have higher rates of diabetes compared with other races/ethnicities in Hawai'i. More research is needed to reduce diabetes disparities among NHOPI and Filipino populations in Hawai'i. This study also shows the importance of conducting age-specific analyses of racial/ethnic-subgroups for health disparities.
