Definition
- Persons in the United States with ancestral origins in Asia or the Pacific Islands (Polynesia, including Hawaii, Micronesia, Melanesia, and other islands) have often been grouped together for the purpose of gathering health information and calculating statistics. However, this is an extremely heterogeneous group, with national origins that cover one third of the globe. [Source: Encyclopedia of Epidemiology; Asian American/Pacific Islander Health Issues]
