Are acculturation and socioeconomic position associated with coronary calcification in a multiethnic sample?
Are acculturation and socioeconomic position associated with coronary calcification in a multiethnic sample?
Heterogeneity in acculturation and socioeconomic factors must be considered when investigating racial and ethnic differences in coronary calcification.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Acculturation and socioeconomic heterogeneity should be considered in multiethnic coronary calcification studies; cross-sectional data leave causal and clinical implications open.
Acculturation and socioeconomic factors are associated with differences in the prevalence and amount of coronary calcification within whites, Chinese, blacks, and Hispanics. The presence of this heterogeneity needs to be acknowledged in the quantification and investigation of race/ethnic differences.
