Asian Americans/Pacific Islanders and Native Hawaiians

Asian American women have the highest life expectancy of any group in the U.S. Still, Asians suffer more from certain types of cancer, tuberculosis, and hepatitis B. Cervical cancer rates are very high in subgroups, especially in Vietnamese women. Lack of health insurance, not speaking English, and cultural beliefs all play a part in this.
