N1 - Funding Information:
Asian Americans are the fastest-growing minority group in the US since 2010, yet between 1992 and 2018, the NIH had invested only 0.17% of its budget on research focusing on this group. 88 This is also true for Filipino Americans, and becomes particularly evident in cardiovascular cohorts funded by the NIH. For instance, among 6,814 participants from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis, only 9 were Filipinos (0.1%). So far, no dedicated cohort has been funded to study the natural history of CVD in Southeast Asian Americans or specifically in Filipino Americans.

N2 - With more than 4.2 million people, Filipino Americans are the third largest Asian group in the US and the largest Southeast Asian group in the country. Despite relatively favorable average socioeconomic indicators compared to the general US population, Filipino Americans face a significant burden of traditional cardiovascular risk factors, particularly among men. Moreover, Filipino Americans have high rates of cardiovascular death, often occurring at a younger age compared to other minority groups and Non-Hispanic White adults. In view of these trends, in 2010 the American Heart Association designated Filipino Americans as a high cardiovascular risk group. Despite this, in 2023, Filipino Americans remain underrepresented in landmark cardiovascular cohort studies and are often over looked as a group at increased cardiovascular risk. In this updated narrative review, we summarize the current state of knowledge about the burden of cardiovascular risk factors and diseases experienced by the Filipino American population. Our aim is to inform enhanced clinical, population, and policy-level prevention interventions and boost research in this space.
