Pacific Islander Health

Pacific Islander health refers to the overall physical and mental well-being of people from Pacific Island nations, such as Fiji, Samoa, and Tonga. These communities face unique health challenges, including higher rates of diabetes, heart disease, and obesity, often linked to changes in diet, lifestyle, and access to healthcare. Social and economic factors also impact health outcomes. Efforts focus on improving healthcare access, promoting healthy behaviors, and addressing cultural needs to reduce disparities and enhance quality of life for Pacific Islanders.
