Topic: Risk, prevention and care in population studies

In the whole sample, significant differences between ethnicities were found in demographic, SE, psychological, and health variables. When comparing individuals living in the most deprived neighborhoods, Hispanics had less education, lower income, and poorer performance on MMSE than AA and NHW. Hispanics were also less likely to be insured, having a health provider, and reported less social support. Compared to NHW, Hispanics were younger, perform worse in memory measures, and were more likely to be female and having cognitive impairment. When compared to NHW, AA were younger, had lower income, performed worse on MMSE, and were more likely to have cognitive impairment. Among Hispanics, ADI was associated with diabetes (OR = 2.15), obesity (OR = 1.28), and depression (OR = 1.38). In AA, ADI was associated with hypertension (OR = 1.54), diabetes (OR = 1.72), and depression (1.82). NHW living in the most deprived neighborhoods were more likely to have hypertension (OR = 1.81). Findings revealed that demographic, socioeconomic, psychological, and health characteristics of individuals living in the most deprived neighborhoods are different among the US main ethnic groups.

Key findings

In the whole sample, significant differences between ethnicities were found in demographic, SE, psychological, and health variables.
When comparing individuals living in the most deprived neighborhoods, Hispanics had less education, lower income, and poorer performance on MMSE than AA and NHW.
Hispanics were also less likely to be insured, having a health provider, and reported less social support.
Compared to NHW, Hispanics were younger, perform worse in memory measures, and were more likely to be female and having cognitive impairment.
When compared to NHW, AA were younger, had lower income, performed worse on MMSE, and were more likely to have cognitive impairment.

Why it matters

Among people living in the most deprived neighborhoods, Hispanic, African American, and non-Hispanic White individuals differed in education, income, insurance, social support, memory, and rates of conditions like diabetes, obesity, depression, and hypertension. These findings show that the health and social circumstances of disadvantaged neighborhoods are not the same across ethnic groups, which matters for targeting care.
