Diabetes affects more than 1 in 10 Hispanics. Among<br />
Hispanic women, diabetes most often affects Mexican<br />
Americans and Puerto Ricans (womenshealth.gov)<br />

“Latino children are 40 percent more likely to die from<br />
asthma than non-Latino whites, and nearly 10 percent of<br />
Latino children under the age of 18 suffer from this<br />
chronic respiratory illness. Among all ethnic and racial<br />
groups in the U.S., Puerto Ricans suffer the highest<br />
incidence of asthma, at more than double the rate of<br />
non-Hispanic whites.” (Environmental Defense Fund)<br />
