Why the study?
Do physical activity and dietary interventions improve outcomes in South Asian populations?
Do physical activity and dietary interventions improve outcomes in South Asian populations?
Physical activity and dietary interventions show modest promise in South Asian populations, but better-designed, culturally appropriate experimental studies are needed.
Insufficient evidence precludes routine clinical use; leaves open need for rigorous, objective RCTs in South Asian populations.
Physical activity and dietary interventions with South Asian populations show modest promise but, given the paucity of controlled evaluations or use of objective measures, outcomes are difficult to interpret. Potential insights may be missed if experience concerning South Asian groups within studies is not reported. Further development of culturally appropriate interventions that are theoretically informed and assessed in experimental designs are required.
