Mansha Mirza quoted in NBC News article
Introduction
Mansha Mirza was quoted in the NBC News article, "U.S.-born Asian Americans no longer the healthiest group among older adults"
“What’s striking about this study is that U.S.-born Asians are the only group that hasn’t experienced improved outcomes,” said Mansha Mirza, principal investigator at Aging Services Inclusive of Asian American Networks, a national technical assistance and resource development center focused on Asian American older adults. Mirza wasn’t involved with the new study. The trend could be attributed to the fact that U.S.-born Asians “are more assimilated into the American way of life,” Mirza said, while foreign-born Asians were more likely to “retain practices from their home countries related to nutrition and diet.”
