Article Synopsis
- South Asian adults in the US have higher cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk compared to other groups, and the effectiveness of lifestyle interventions specifically for them had not been previously assessed.
- A clinical trial aimed to determine if a culturally adapted group lifestyle intervention would more effectively improve CVD risk factors compared to basic written health education materials for South Asian adults aged 18 to 65.
- The intervention involved a 16-week program focusing on lifestyle changes, delivered in multiple languages, with follow-up support, while the control group only received written materials; outcomes focused on changes in key health metrics and self-reported behaviors.
