Article Synopsis
- - Latinos are the fastest-growing ethnic minority in the U.S. and face a high risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), but effective ways to lower this risk are not well understood.
- - This study reviewed 17 randomized trials focusing on behavioral interventions for CVD risk reduction among Latinos, mainly led by community health workers, and found improvements in dietary habits, but mixed results for physical activity and biological outcomes.
- - The authors concluded that more research is needed, especially on under-researched interventions like nurse-led and mobile health approaches, to better address CVD risk in the Latino population.
