Key Takeaways Did you know there is an Asian-specific body mass index (BMI)? Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month is a great time to consider health equity through the lens of Asian America health, as there remains a general lack of knowledge about metabolic and cardiovascular concerns specific to this community.
