Diabetes and Hypertension Risk Across Acculturation and Education Levels in Hispanic/Latino Adults
In this cohort study, the association of acculturation with health outcomes is not unidirectional and interacts with educational attainment in determining incident diabetes and hypertension. The Hispanic and Latino paradox, in which immigrants have a health advantage, is influenced by more factors than acculturation and may persist with higher educational attainment. These observations may inform prevention and treatment strategies associated with cardiometabolic health in Hispanic/Latino populations.
