Elsamadony A, et al. - The authors assessed whether Asian American adolescents had a higher metabolic risk from excess weight than non-Asians. Compared to their non-Asian counterparts, Asians had higher insulin resistance (IR) and triglyceride levels from excess weight, despite lower overall BMI. One-size-fits-all public health policies targeting youth had to be reconsidered and attention paid to Asian adolescents, including those with mild degrees of excess weight.
