Compared to the general population of Hawai'i, Native Hawaiians and Other Pacific Islanders (NHPI) shoulder a disproportionately high risk for obesity-related cardiometabolic disorders, such as type 2 diabetes cardiovascular disease. The gut microbiome is an area rapid research interest its role in regulating adjacent metabolic pathways, offering novel opportunities better understand etiology these health disparities. Obesity are influenced by regional, racial-ethnic, community-specific factors, limiting generalizability current literature understudied populations. Additionally, anthropometric directly measured obesity indices variably predictive adiposity this diverse population. Thus, further NHPI-inclusive required adequately characterize factors context disease etiology. Culturally responsible ethics scientific communication crucial conducting research, especially among indigenous In review, we explore limitations literature, emphasizing urgent need assess accurately. Such accuracy Indigenous may ensure that findings relevant individual or public recommendations and/or policies meaningful communities aims serve.
