Religious affiliations, religious practices, and health behaviors in US South Asians
This study advanced understanding of the role of religious affiliations and practices in health behaviors and related clinical outcomes in US South Asians. Results highlighted yoga and religious attendance as particularly important topics for future study. Religious affiliation results suggest that among US South Asians, nonaffiliates, Muslims, and Sikhs may be populations in need of scholarly and programmatic attention regarding particular health behavior and clinical outcomes.
