“…The study had indicated that Filipinos tend to develop an acculturated Westernized diet, which is associated with a higher risk for CVDs, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and metabolic syndrome [14]. The prevalence of CVD risk factors among Filipino immigrants in the US might due to higher rates of smoking (17.7%) [12], lower levels of HDL-C (mean ± SD: 40.8 ± 0.2 mg/ dL) [47], overweight or obesity (BMI ≥ 25 kg/m 2 , 60.4%) [48], abdominal obesity (> 88 cm, 84.9%) and physical inactivity (48%) [49], high carbohydrate, sodium and fat diet [50,51], and chronic conditions such as dyslipidemia (30.2%), diabetes (8.7%) and hypertension (41.2%) which are known CVD risk factors [52]. Additionally, the prevalence of CVD risk factors among Filipino American women increased at a BMI as low as 23-24.9 kg/ m 2 to ≥ 30 kg/m 2 , including diabetes (HbA1c ≥ 6.5%, 6.38 ± 2.61 to 6.40 ± 1.08, respectively) and hypertension (SBP ≥ 140 mmHg, 125 ± 15 to 139 ± 19, respectively; or DBP ≥ 90 mmHg, 81 ± 8.4 to 87 ± 12, respectively), at a higher TG (≥ 150 mg/dL, 110 ± 55 to 142 ± 79, respectively), and at a lower HDL-C level (≤ 60 mg/dL, 60 ± 13 to 55 ± 14, respectively) [53].…”

Objectives This study assessed the CVD risk factors among Filipino women (FW) in Korea and compared them with FW in the Philippines and women in Korea (KW). Methods A cohort of 504 women from the Filipino Women's Health and Diet Study (FiLWHEL) aged 20–57 years old were age-matched (1:1 ratio) with women from the 2013 National Nutrition Survey in the Philippines and the 2013–2015 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Anthropometric data, blood pressure (BP), lipid and glucose levels were compared across the four populations by calculating the odds ratio (OR)s and 95% confidence interval (CI)s using conditional logistic regression models. Results Compared to KW, FW in Korea and FW in the Philippines were more than 2 and 3 times higher odds of having obesity for BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2 and waist circumference ≥ 88 cm, respectively. However, FW in Korea had the highest odds (OR 5.51, 95% CI 3.18–9.56) of having hypertension compared to KW. FW in the Philippines had the highest odds of having dyslipidemia (compared to KW, total cholesterol ≥ 200 mg/dL: OR 8.83, 95% CI 5.30–14.71; LDL-C ≥ 130 mg/dL: OR 3.25, 95% CI 2.13–4.98; and triglyceride ≥ 150 mg/dL: OR 2.59, 95% CI 1.59–4.22), but FW in Korea and KW had similar prevalence of dyslipidemia. Conclusions FW in Korea had higher prevalence of obesity and hypertension, with similar prevalence of dyslipidemia compared to KW in this sample. FW in the Philippines had higher prevalence of dyslipidemia compared to FW in Korea. Further prospective studies are warranted to examine the CVD risk factors among continental and native-born Filipino women.

“…This discrepancy in results pertinent to individual genotype association with T2DM might obviously be due to innate genetic diversity among ethnicities in addition to multiple interactive environmental factors as climate, diet, lifestyle and economic status. Factors related to the study design or sample size should also be put into consideration ( Brooks et al, 2012 and Li et al, 2013 ).…”

African vs. Caucasian and Asian difference for the association of interleukin-10 promotor polymorphisms with type 2 diabetes mellitus (a meta-analysis study)

BackgroundInterleukin-10 (IL-10) is a multifunctional regulatory cytokine that might be associated with increased risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). IL-10 gene polymorphisms have been reported to be associated with T2DM in several ethnic populations with controversial results.ObjectivesThis work is an updated meta-analysis aiming at the evaluation of the association between IL-10 gene polymorphisms: rs1800872 (− 592 C > A), rs1800896 (− 1082 A > G) and rs1800871 (− 819 C > T) with the risk of T2DM.MethodsAll available full text studies published up to July 2015 were included in this meta-analysis. Mainly Pubmed and Science Direct databases were searched for all eligible studies pertinent to testing the association between IL-10 gene polymorphisms with the susceptibility to T2DM. Further analyses of the pooled and stratified data in terms of individual polymorphic types and subject ethnicity were done and assessed using varied genetic models.ResultsFifteen case-control studies with a total of 26 comparisons (10 for IL-10 − 592 C > A rs1800872, 11 for IL-10 − 1082 A > G rs1800896 and 5 for IL-10 − 819 C > T rs1800871 polymorphisms) met our inclusion criteria. IL-10 − 1082 A > G polymorphism was the only one to show an association with T2DM in all pooled sample particularly among Asian and European (high frequency of the G allele) ethnic groups. On the other hand, IL-10 − 592 C > A and − 819 C > T were significantly associated with T2DM only among African subjects.ConclusionsThis meta-analysis demonstrated that IL-10 − 1082 A > G polymorphism was associated with increased risk of development of T2DM in total subjects no matter was their ethnic background, while both IL-10 − 592 C > A and − 819 C > T polymorphisms were associated with that risk only among African subjects.

“…Younger Filipinos are more likely to consume diets that are high in fat, red meat, and dairy products compared with older Filipinos (Brooks, Leake, Parsons, & Pham, 2012). There may be heterogeneity in dietary responses to social and economic changes within strata of socioeconomic status (Kelles & Adair, 2009).…”

Overweight and obesity among children and adults is well-documented as an escalating problem. The purpose of this study is to determine the blood pressure, self-esteem, and eating and physical activity practices among African Americans, Filipino Americans, and Hispanic Americans; and project implications for development of childhood obesity prevention programs. This descriptive study was conducted in a convenience sample of 110 mothers recruited in health clinics and community centers located in Southeast Florida: 19% African Americans, 26% Filipino Americans, and 55% Hispanic Americans. The data, collected via self-administered questionnaires and a guided interview (Family Eating and Activity Habits Questionnaire, Rosenberg's Self-Esteem Scale, Background Information Questionnaire), were analyzed via descriptive and inferential statistics with findings significant at p < .05. Results revealed differences and similarities in eating and activity practices between Filipinos and Blacks or Hispanics. Blood pressure and self-esteem did not differ by ethnicity; however, overweight mothers tended to have overweight children. The results point clearly to the importance of the mothers' role modeling in eating and physical activity practices of families, reflecting the influence of mothers' behaviors in children's healthy behaviors, albeit family health. Given that mothers own physical exercise and eating habits could influence their children's physical activity levels and food choices, a parental advice strategy could be disseminated directly to parents by health professionals. Study findings may raise public awareness of the increasing prevalence and consequences of overweight and obesity in children and adolescents, particularly among vulnerable ethnic groups. The findings provide a database for nurse practitioners and other health service providers for the development of culturally sensitive focused public health education programs to prevent or control obesity.Keywords: African Americans; Filipino Americans, Hispanic Americans, family eating habits, physical activity practices The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that 65% of the U.S. population is overweight or obese (Flegal, Carroll, Kit, & Ogden, 2012). Since 1980, the prevalence of overweight children and overweight adolescents has more than doubled and more than tripled, respectively, and about 60% of overweight children have at least one risk factor for cardiovascular disease, such as high blood pressure or high cholesterol. Children who are overweight are poised to become overweight or obese adults with the attendant high risk of co-morbidities as well as the psychosocial consequences of systematic discrimination that can seriously affect the healthy development of self-esteem and body image (Fitzgerald & Mousouli, 2008).
