SAHELI is dedicated to improving South Asian health in partnership with communities through culturally tailored, research-proven interventions.
South Asians are four times more likely to develop heart disease and diabetes at a younger age compared to many other ethnic groups.
South Asians have a high burden of heart disease risk factors, two of which are low physical activity and poor diet. Improving diet, physical activity, weight, and stress management can reduce heart disease and diabetes risk. Even though South Asians are one of the fastest growing groups in the U.S., they are underrepresented in research.
