| Popis: | Objectives: Little is known about the relationship of acculturation and favorable cardiovascular (CV) health (i.e., low CV risk) in the Hispanic/Latino population. Methods: Age-adjusted prevalences (weighted for sampling probability and non-response) are reported. Logistic regression was used to examine associations of acculturation (measured using nativity and length of residence: 2 ; and no major ECG abnormalities) in 15,047 HCHS/SOL participants (52.4% women) of Central American, South American, Cuban, Dominican, Mexican, Puerto Rican background, and Hispanic/Latino men and women identifying as other or >1 background group. We also tested whether these associations varied by Hispanic/Latino background. Results: Among women, age-adjusted low CV risk prevalence was highest for those living in the US < 10 years (15.4%) and similar for those living in the US ≥ 10 years (9.4%) and born in the US (9.2%). Low CV risk prevalence in was lower in men, but patterns were similar by acculturation ( Conclusions: These findings highlight the role that acculturation plays in shaping cardiovascular health in Hispanics/Latinos. |
