BACKGROUND: Individuals from East Asia make up about 1/5th of the world's population. Individuals from South Asia with obesity are well-described to have increased susceptibility to cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors and increased risk of CVD events. Less well described are the adiposopathic effects of the disease of obesity among East Asians.
METHODS: This roundtable discussion includes 3 obesity medicine specialists with experience in the clinical management of obesity among patients of East Asian descent. Included are citations regarding obesity and East Asians.
RESULTS: In general, East Asians are at decreased risk for CVD compared to Whites and South Asians. However, compared to Whites, for the same body mass index, East Asians are at increased risk for metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus. Both obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus are epidemics in East Asian countries. In this Roundtable, the panelists discuss East Asian nutrition and physical activity, with special attention given to Asian foods, especially rice. The panelists also discuss East Asian genetic predispositions for development of visceral adiposity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, as well as genetic predisposition to drug metabolism and potential drug and herbal interactions, as commonly encountered in patients with obesity. Finally, the panelists give summary tips for managing East Asian patients with obesity.
CONCLUSION: The three panelists of this roundtable describe their practical diagnostic processes and treatment plans for patients from East Asia, with an emphasis on a patient-centered approach to obesity in this unique population.
