华人社区糖尿病筛检白皮书发布：亚裔BMI达23即应筛检
一份聚焦美籍华人社区糖尿病筛检与预防的白皮书近日发布，呼吁亚裔居民不要等到体重指数超过25才重视筛检。事发地为纽约州纽约市皇后区法拉盛一带。白皮书整理了纽约华人社区的证据与315位居民的调查结果，指出在纽约市，2022年亚太裔成年人糖尿病患病率为13%，白人成年人为7%，差距近一倍。
调查显示，在法拉盛的两次调查中，分别有84.5%和94.9%的受访者不知道亚裔可能在较低体重指数时就面临糖尿病风险；在7月的法拉盛样本中，63.3%的受访者不知道或不确定早期糖尿病可能没有任何症状；布鲁克林有51.4%的受访者最希望得到符合中式饮食的健康饮食指导。白皮书建议，亚裔在体重指数达到23时就应开始筛检。
政策方面，要求保险公司依据全国性实证临床指引、为糖尿病与糖尿病前期筛检提供给付且患者不需分担费用的纽约州法案，已于2026年2月24日在州参议院以55票对1票通过，并于5月12日在州众议院通过，截至10月5日州参议院官方状态显示为参众两院已通过，纪录尚未显示已送交州长或由州长签署。
White Paper on Diabetes Screening in the Chinese American Community Calls for Screening Asian Adults at a BMI of 23
A white paper focused on diabetes screening and prevention in the Chinese American community has been released, urging Asian residents not to wait until their body mass index passes 25 before taking screening seriously. The work centers on Flushing, Queens, in New York City, New York. The paper compiles evidence from New York's Chinese community and a survey of 315 residents, noting that in 2022, 13 percent of Asian and Pacific Islander adults in New York City had diabetes, compared with 7 percent of white adults — nearly double.
In two Flushing surveys, 84.5 percent and 94.9 percent of respondents did not know that Asian adults can face diabetes risk at a lower BMI. In the July Flushing sample, 63.3 percent did not know or were unsure that early diabetes may have no symptoms, and 51.4 percent of Brooklyn respondents most wanted healthy-eating guidance tailored to a Chinese diet. The white paper recommends that Asian adults begin screening once their BMI reaches 23.
On the policy side, a New York State bill requiring insurers to cover diabetes and prediabetes screening based on national evidence-based clinical guidelines, with no patient cost-sharing, passed the State Senate on February 24, 2026, by 55 votes to 1, and passed the Assembly on May 12. As of October 5, the Senate's official status showed the bill passed by both houses, with no record yet of delivery to, or signature by, the governor.
