Can Your Birth Weight Predict Diabetes? Groundbreaking Research for South Asian Women

In this eye-opening episode of Brown Women Health, anchor Ameek explores a groundbreaking study that links birth weight to the risk of developing diabetes later in life. The research, Exploring the Relationship Between Birth Weight and Diabetes Among South Asian American Women, authored by Anisa Amiji, Dr. Nitasha Nagaraj, and Dr. Amita Vyas, uncovers startling statistics about how early-life factors shape long-term health outcomes.

We dive deep into the science, discuss its implications for South Asian American women—who face disproportionately high diabetes rates—and share actionable insights to improve maternal and community health. Plus, a shoutout to Dr. Nagaraj for sharing this important work with us!
