The present study examined the association between self-reported everyday discrimination and count of chronic health conditions, and explored the moderating role of objective and subjective socioeconomic position on the discrimination-health relation. We utilized nationally representative data of Latino adults (N = 2,554) from the National Latino and Asian American Study. Weighted negative binomial regression modeling was used to estimate the association between self-reported everyday discrimination and count of chronic health conditions, and to test whether this relation was modified by markers of socioeconomic position. Binomial regressions revealed that everyday discrimination was associated with a greater count of chronic conditions. However, moderation analyses indicated that household income moderated the discrimination-health relation, controlling for sociodemographic variables. More specifically, the adverse effects of discrimination were stronger for Latinos in middle-income tertiles compared to their lower income counterparts, such that as frequency of discrimination increased, Latinos with medium levels of household income were predicted to have greater counts of chronic conditions. This was only marginally significant among those in the high-income tertile. Our findings suggest that identifying segments of the Latino population that may be at greatest (and lowest) risk of ill health in the context of perceiving being discriminated against may prove useful for understanding Latino health 'paradoxes,' and may have implications for tailoring prevention and intervention efforts to particular segments of the Latino population. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
