Health tracking for Chinese, Filipino, Indian, and Vietnamese Americans (ARISE)
Asian American Prevention Research: A Populomics Epidemiology Cohort (ARISE)
This project will follow Chinese, Filipino, Indian, and Vietnamese Americans over time to learn what affects heart, metabolic, and mental health.

What this research studies
You would be invited to join as one of 2,100 participants from the San Francisco Bay Area and be followed over several years as part of a 10,000-person national cohort. The team will collect detailed questionnaires about lifestyle and mental health, perform clinical exams and blood tests, and do imaging to measure heart, liver, and other organ health. Researchers will combine your data with other sites to compare risk patterns across different Asian-origin groups. The aim is to find social, biological, and clinical factors that raise risk for diabetes, heart disease, stroke, fatty liver, and underdiagnosed mental health conditions.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Adults of Chinese, Filipino, Indian, or Vietnamese heritage who live in the San Francisco Bay Area and are willing to do questionnaires, blood tests, and imaging scans are the best fit.
Not a fit: People who are not of these Asian ancestries, who live outside the Bay Area, or who cannot attend clinic visits or imaging are unlikely to take part or benefit directly.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this work could lead to better screening, prevention, and treatments tailored to specific Asian American communities.
How similar studies have performed: Large community cohort studies have successfully used surveys, labs, and imaging to identify risk factors, but subgroup-specific, population-based cohorts focused on Asian American groups are still relatively rare.
