Signal Detection Analysis of Factors Associated With Diabetes Among Semirural Mexican American Adults
Signal detection analysis was used to evaluate a combination of sociodemographic, acculturation, mental health, health care, and chronic disease risk factors potentially associated with diabetes in a sample of 4,505 semirural Mexican American adults. Overall, 8.9% of adults had been diagnosed with diabetes. The analysis resulted in 12 mutually exclusive groups, with diabetes prevalence ranging from 1.8% to 44.1%. Three groups were at the highest …
Changing Patterns in Health Behaviors and Risk Factors Related to Cardiovascular Disease Among American Indians and Alaska Natives
Objectives. We assessed changes in cardiovascular disease–related health outcomes and risk factors among American Indians and Alaska Natives by age and gender. Methods. We used cross-sectional data from the 1995 to 1996 and the 2005 to 2006 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System. The respondents were 2548 American Indian and Alaska Native women and men aged 18 years or older in 1995–1996 and 11 104 women and men in 2005–2006. We analyzed the …
Effect of Cross-Level Interaction Between Individual and Neighborhood Socioeconomic Status on Adult Mortality Rates
Objective. We examined whether the influence of neighborhood-level socioeconomic status (SES) on mortality differed by individual-level SES. Methods. We used a population-based, mortality follow-up study of 4476 women and 3721 men, who were predominately non-HIspanic White and aged 25–74 years at baseline, from 82 neighborhoods in 4 California cities. Participants were surveyed between 1979 and 1990, and were followed until December 31, 2002 (114…
Neighbourhood deprivation and alcohol consumption: Does the availability of alcohol play a role?
BACKGROUND: Previous studies suggest that the physical availability of alcohol may mediate the association between neighbourhood-level material deprivation and alcohol consumption. This study tests the relationships between neighbourhood-level deprivation, alcohol availability, and individual-level alcohol consumption using a multilevel analysis. METHODS: Data are from cross-sectional surveys conducted between 1979 and 1990 as part of the Stanfor…
Ten-Year Changes in Cancer-Related Health Behaviors and Screening Practices among Latino Women and Men in California
These findings highlight the need for interventions and policies that improve knowledge, preventive care, and social environments to sustain improvements and address areas of special need in cancer prevention for Latinos, especially related to obesity and colorectal screening
Effects of neighbourhood socioeconomic status and convenience store concentration on individual level smoking
Objectives: To assess the effects of neighbourhood level socioeconomic status (SES) and convenience store concentration on individual level smoking, after consideration of individual level characteristics. Design: Individual sociodemographic characteristics and smoking were obtained from five cross sectional surveys (1979–1990). Participants’ addresses were geocoded and linked with census data for measuring neighbourhood SES and with telephone ye…
