Dr O P Kapoor, who has been treating Sindhis for the last 40 years, describes Sindhis as unusual patients. After the partition, many Sindhis live as non-resident Indians (NRIs) in different countries like the United States of America, England, Spain, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore etc and Sindhis in India are at high places as well. Sindhis are possibly the most hard working people in India, according to Dr Kapoor. Sindhis enjoy food, music and sex. Nearly 100 per cent Sindhis offer regular prayers every day.

As a doctor who knows more about Sindhis and who treats Sindhis for several years, Dr Kapoor has this to say about Sindhi patients.

As Sindhis work most of the time, seldom do Sindhis get time to have exercise, which in turn can affect their health. All work and no relaxation can also affect a person's health and Sindhis also not an exception to this.

The excessive work predisposes Sindhis to certain diseases such as ischaemic heart disease, hypertension etc. Most of them will never miss their good lunch and have a hearty dinner and even on the days of fasting, which many of them do once a week, the caloric content of the fruits and milk, which they consume is very high.Many genetically transmitted diseases are common in Sindhis. These include ischaemic heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, thaalassaemia minor, G6PD deficiency, obesity and possibly gross osteo-arthritis
