Risk Factors For Heart Disease: Doctoral Fellow

High Blood Pressure Dept: "What we did not know was whether the degree to which this change happened was different for ethnic groups that lived in Canada.", according to CTV. They found that longer-term residents exhibited increased risk factors for cardiovascular disease -- among them Type 2 diabetes, obesity, smoking and high blood pressure -- compared with more recent ethnically matched immigrants and doctors have long known that the longer people stay after immigrating to western countries like Canada, the less healthy they become, said principal investigator Maria Chiu, a doctoral fellow at the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences. Using population and health data, Chiu and her co-authors looked at the prevalence of risk factors for heart disease and stroke among immigrants who had lived in Ontario for 15 years or longer, compared to those who had resided in the province for less than 15 years. As reported in the news.
