Understanding cardiovascular health in Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders
PAcific Islander, Native Hawaiian and Asian American Cardiovascular Health Epidemiology (PANACHE) Study
['FUNDING_R01'] · KAISER FOUNDATION RESEARCH INSTITUTE · NIH-10899431
The PANACHE Study is looking at heart health in Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders to understand how common heart diseases are in these groups and what might be causing them, so we can better support their health compared to non-Hispanic Whites.

What this research studies
The PANACHE Study investigates the cardiovascular health of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders by analyzing data from over 800,000 individuals within the Kaiser Permanente healthcare systems. This research aims to identify the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases and the factors that contribute to these conditions in these diverse populations. By comparing these groups with non-Hispanic Whites, the study seeks to uncover important health disparities and improve care strategies tailored to these communities.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research include Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders aged 21 and older who are receiving care within the Kaiser Permanente healthcare systems.
Not a fit: Patients outside of the Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander communities, or those under 21 years old, may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved cardiovascular health outcomes and targeted interventions for Asian American and Pacific Islander populations.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has highlighted health disparities in cardiovascular diseases among different ethnic groups, indicating that this approach has the potential for significant insights.
