Overview
Vietnamské etnikum tvoří třetí nejpočetnější skupinu menšin v České republice, žije zde více než 66 000 občanů této národnosti. Vietnamci trpí častěji na prediabetes (prevalence prediabetu ve Vietnamu je u mužů 53,4 % a u žen 52, 8 %) i diabetes, a to již při nižším BMI. Cut-off hodnoty BMI u pacientů vietnamského etnika dle WHO jsou BMI ≥ 23 pro nadváhu a ≥ 27,5 kg/m2 pro obezitu a lékaři by je měli vzít v potaz při hodnocení rizika rozvoje prediabetu a diabetu.
