Health
Omission
Asian Americans are often underrepresented or entirely omitted in national health surveys and studies, leading to a lack of reliable data on their health disparities
Language barriers and limited English proficiency further contribute to their exclusion
Aggregation
When data is available, it is often reported for Asian Americans as a single group, masking significant differences among subgroups
This obscures variations in disease prevalence, risk factors, and socioeconomic conditions
Extrapolation
Findings from studies on one Asian-American subgroup are often incorrectly generalized to the entire population
Research on Japanese Americans has been used to infer health risks for all Asian Americans, despite differences in genetics, lifestyle, and socioeconomic factors
Stratification
is defined as the act of sorting data, people, and objects into distinct groups or layers
All asian groups are lumped together

When national health data are reported for Asian-American subjects, it is often reported for the aggregated group. This aggregation may mask differences between Asian-American subgroups
When health data are reported by Asian American subgroup, it is generally reported for one subgroup alone
The six largest Asian-American subgroups (Asian Indian, Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese) comprise approximately 97% of the Asian American population
Asian Diaspora
communities of people of Asian descent living outside of their ancestral homelands
in 2022, approximately 19.7 million Asian Americans alone reside within the United States representing about 5.9% of the U.S. population
ten states/territories with the largest percentage of Asian Americans were Hawaii (37.3%), California (16.5%), Washington (10.8%), New Jersey (10.6%), Nevada (9.7%), New York (9.7%), Massachusetts (7.9%), Virginia (7.4%), Maryland (7.1%), and Alaska (6.8%)
Asian Americans were most represented in the United States by the following subcategories and their respective estimated populations: Asian Indians – 4,534,339, Chinese – 4,521,970, Filipinos – 2,969,978, Vietnamese – 1,887,550, Koreans – 1,501,587
Asian Americans are projected to be the nation’s largest immigrant group by the middle of the century
More than 70 percent of Asian Americans are foreign-born
