This investigation examined the prevalence of select chronic conditions among an ethnically diverse convenience sample of British Columbian adults. A sample of adults (\u226518 years) from around the province of British Columbia, including Aboriginal (n = 991), European (n = 3650), East Asian (n = 466), and South Asian (n = 228), were evaluated. Individuals reported their personal histories of cardiovascular disease and diabetes, and physical activity behaviour. Direct measures of health status included body mass index, waist circumference, resting blood pressure, and nonfasting blood glucose, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, and glycosylated hemoglobin A1C. All ethnic groups were found to have high rates of low HDL (&gt;33%), physical inactivity (&gt;31%), hypertension (&gt;16%), and ethnic-specifically defined obesity (&gt;23%) and abdominal obesity (&gt;33%). Aboriginal and South Asian populations generally demonstrated higher rates of select chronic conditions. The implementation of ethnic-specific body composition recommendations further underscores this poorer health status among South Asian populations. Actions to improve chronic condition rates should be undertaken among all ethnic groups, with particular attention to Aboriginal and South Asian populations. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1139\/h2012-110","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,11,23]],"date-time":"2012-11-23T15:11:38Z","timestamp":1353683498000},"page":"1212-1221","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":26,"title":["Greater prevalence of select chronic conditions among Aboriginal and South Asian participants from an ethnically diverse convenience sample of British Columbians"],"prefix":"10.1139","volume":"37","author":[{"given":"Heather J.A.","family":"Foulds","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiovascular Physiology and Rehabilitation Laboratory, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC V6T 1Z3, Canada."},{"name":"Experimental Medicine Program, Faculty of Medicine, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC V6T 1Z3, Canada."},{"name":"Physical Activity Promotion and Chronic Disease Prevention Unit, Vancouver, BC V6T 1Z3, Canada."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shannon S.D.","family":"Bredin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Physical Activity Promotion and Chronic Disease Prevention Unit, Vancouver, BC V6T 1Z3, Canada."},{"name":"Cognitive and Functional Learning Laboratory, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC V6T 1Z3, Canada."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Darren E.R.","family":"Warburton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiovascular Physiology and Rehabilitation Laboratory, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC V6T 1Z3, Canada."},{"name":"Experimental Medicine Program, Faculty of Medicine, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC V6T 1Z3, Canada."},{"name":"Physical Activity Promotion and Chronic Disease Prevention Unit, Vancouver, BC V6T 1Z3, Canada."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"155","reference":[{"key":"refg1\/ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(05)67402-8"},{"key":"refg2\/ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/CIRCULATIONAHA.109.192644"},{"key":"refg3\/ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(00)02502-2"},{"key":"refg4\/ref4","unstructured":"BC Stats. 2010. 2006 Census Profile: British Columbia.
