| Popis: | To compare prevalence of self-reported diabetes between U.S. state-born, Puerto Rico-born, Mexico-born, Cuba-born, and South/Central America-born Hispanic groups, and examine whether risk for diabetes differs by country of origin and experiences with discrimination when accounting for BMI. Data from 6223 Hispanic respondents from the nationally representative NESARC-III study was used. Sociodemographic characteristics were compared across nativity groups, and adjusted odds of self-reported diabetes diagnosis (past year) tested. Differences by perceived discrimination (using endorsement of individual items assessing specific experiences) and by nativity were examined when accounting for sociodemographic characteristics, acculturation, and BMI. Prevalence of self-reported diabetes diagnosis was significantly higher among the Puerto Rico-born Hispanics, and remained significantly elevated when adjusting for perceived discrimination, acculturation, and health risk behaviors. When adjusting further for BMI, there were no significant differences in the odds of diabetes by nativity. Prevalence of lifetime perceived discrimination was significantly lower among Cuba-born Hispanics. Mean BMI was significantly lower in South/Central America-born Hispanic individuals relative to U.S. state-, Mexico-, and Puerto Rico-born Hispanic groups. Higher BMI was associated with significantly greater risk of diabetes diagnosis across groups. Marked heterogeneity exists in prevalence and in factors associated with diabetes risk and weight status across Hispanic groups in the U.S. Experiences with discrimination may play an important role in accounting for these differences. This should be considered when planning future research to inform the most optimal patient-centered prevention efforts. Level III, Evidence obtained from well-designed cohort analytic study. |
