Dookeran, MD, MSc, Tracy Battaglia, MD, MPH, Jennifer Cochran, MPH, and Paul L. Geltman, MD, MPH Health screening data from 4,239 adult refugees and asylees who arrived in Massachusetts from January 1, 2001, through December 31, We determined prevalence of obesity/overweight, hypertension, coronary artery disease (CAD), diabetes, and anemia. Almost half of our sample (46.8%) was obese/overweight, and 22.6% had hypertension. CAD, diabetes, and anemia were documented in 3.7%, 3.1%, and 12.8%, respectively.
