immigrant health paradox
DESCRIPTION
This webinar will be examining diabetes hospitalization rates among US and Foreign-Born Hispanics/Latin@s in California. Using the Social Determinants of Health framework, we will be exploring potential contributing factors to these hospitalization rates. Lastly, we will demonstrate (live) how to access and map related health data of other communities of interest on HealthyCity.org.TRANSCRIPT

Social Determinants of Health“The economic and social conditions that influence individuals and group differences in health status.” – The World Health Organization
![Page 9: Immigrant Health Paradox](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061208/54851238b47959d30c8b4d7e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The Immigrant Health Paradox
Lower mortality (Jasso et al., 2002; Muennig and Fahs, 2002) Lower rates of obesity (Gordon-Larsen, 2003) Better mental health (Dey and Lucas, 2006) Lower rates of heart and circulatory disease (Singh and Siahpush,
2001)
Despite lower levels of education and income, immigrants are generally healthier than the US-born population
However, as their length of residence increases, so does the prevalence of poor health behaviors and chronic conditions (Kaplan, 2004)
![Page 10: Immigrant Health Paradox](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061208/54851238b47959d30c8b4d7e/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The Acculturation Hypothesis
Acculturation The acquisition and integration of dominant cultural norms by
members of a non-dominant group (Gordon-Larsen, 2003). Over time, immigrants integrate American behavioral norms and
lifestyles (Gordon-Larsen, 2003).
Immigrant dietary patterns More fruits and vegetables (Satia-Abouta, 2002) Less processed foods (Akresh, 2007)
Americanization Eat less fruits & vegetable (Neuhouser, 2004) Eat more red meat & processed foods (Ayala, 2008) Less exercise (Lanza, 2005) Increase smoking & drinking (Detjen et al., 2007)

Research on acculturation and Type-2 diabetes
Limited research exists on the association of length of residence and type 2 diabetes outcomes
Research that does exist has two limitations…1) Regional sample2) Self-reported data to measure diabetes
![Page 12: Immigrant Health Paradox](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061208/54851238b47959d30c8b4d7e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
A quantitative analysis of diabetes prevalence in Hispanics
2001- 2010 NHANES (CDC) Nationally representative sample US/foreign-born Mexican Americans ages 20-65 Tested for diabetes (n= 2417)
Fasting blood glucose test Nativity (US-born/foreign-born) Acculturation (Length of time [years] in the US)
STATA T-test Logistic Regression
Model 1: Basic DifferencesModel 2: Control

Research Question and Hypothesis
RQ: Does nativity and acculturation affect diabetes health outcomes among Hispanics?
H1: Hispanics born in the US will be more likely to suffer from diabetes than foreign born Hispanics.
H2: The longer foreign born Hispanics are in the US, the more likely they are to have diabetes.

Nativity and acculturation highlight important risk factors for diabetes
Nativity & length of time in the US • Study supports the immigrant health paradox• Supports the acculturation hypothesis
• Identifying length of residence as a risk factor is useful for targeting populations for diabetes prevention
“Obesogenic” environments (Powell, 2010)• Low income communities (Walker, 2010)• Less supermarkets (Weinberg, 1995)• Longer distance (Rose and Richards, 2004)
