To examine the association between nativity status (foreign and US-born) by race/ethnicity (Arab, Asian, black, Hispanic, white) on having a functional limitation. We used American Community Survey data (2001-2007; n = 1,964,777; 65+ years) and estimated odds ratios (95% confidence intervals). In the crude model, foreign-born Blacks and Arabs were more likely, while Asians and Hispanics were less likely to report having a functional limitation compared to white. In the fully adjusted model, Blacks, Hispanics, and Asians were less likely, while Arabs were more likely to report having a functional limitation. In the crude model, US-born Blacks and Hispanics were more likely, while Asians and Arabs were less likely to report having a functional limitation compared to whites. Policies and programs tailored to foreign-born Arab Americans may help prevent or delay the onset of disability, especially when initiated shortly after their arrival to the US.
研究按种族/族裔（阿拉伯、亚洲、黑人、西班牙裔、白人）划分的出生地状况（外国出生和美国出生）与功能受限之间的关联。我们使用了美国社区调查数据（2001 - 2007年；n = 1,964,777；65岁及以上）并估计了优势比（95%置信区间）。在粗略模型中，与白人相比，外国出生的黑人和阿拉伯人报告功能受限的可能性更大，而亚洲人和西班牙裔则较小。在完全调整模型中，黑人、西班牙裔和亚洲人报告功能受限的可能性较小，而阿拉伯人则较大。在粗略模型中，与白人相比，美国出生的黑人和西班牙裔报告功能受限的可能性更大，而亚洲人和阿拉伯人则较小。为外国出生的阿拉伯裔美国人量身定制的政策和项目可能有助于预防或延缓残疾的发生，尤其是在他们抵达美国后不久就启动这些政策和项目的情况下。
