The current study employs data from the 2004 Immigration and Intergenerational Mobility in Metropolitan Los Angeles (IIMMLA) study to examine the degree to which observed differences in self-reported health status between African Americans, Asians, Latinos, and non-Hispanic Whites in the United States can be attributed to differences in various indicators of socioeconomic status. Results of the multinomial logistic regression techniques suggest that socioeconomic indicators had varying significant effects in predicting self-reported health status among all racial and ethnic groups. Among African Americans, homeownership, income, and age played a significant role. Among Asian Americans, only income and age significantly predicted health status. Among Latinos, income, having a checking account, and age significantly shaped health status, while education, age, and homeownership significantly predicted health status among non-Hispanic Whites.
当前的研究采用了2004年《洛杉矶大都市地区的移民与代际流动》（IIMMLA）研究中的数据，以检验在美国非裔美国人、亚裔、拉丁裔和非西班牙裔白人之间自我报告的健康状况中观察到的差异，在多大程度上可归因于社会经济地位的各种指标差异。多项逻辑回归技术的结果表明，社会经济指标在预测所有种族和族裔群体的自我报告健康状况方面具有不同程度的显著影响。在非裔美国人中，自有住房、收入和年龄起着重要作用。在亚裔美国人中，只有收入和年龄能显著预测健康状况。在拉丁裔中，收入、拥有支票账户和年龄显著影响健康状况，而教育程度、年龄和自有住房在非西班牙裔白人中显著预测健康状况。
