South Asians, yeh research hum sab ke liye important hai! 💯
A 2026 study using MASALA research data found that by age 45, approximately 31% of South Asian men had prediabetes, compared with just 4% of White men. Among women, the figures were 18% vs. 6%.
Yaani, heart aur metabolic health ko sirf weight ya age se judge nahi kar sakte!
The takeaway? Know your numbers, understand your family history, and prioritise regular health screenings.
