ObjectiveTo examine whether remitting behavior among Mexican immigrants in the Bronx is associated with increased food insecurity and lower dietary quality, with a particular focus on potential gender differences in these associations.DesignDescriptive and bivariate statistics are shown, and binary logistic multivariate regression models are computed.SettingData come from a study exploring the social networks, dietary behaviors and outcomes of Mexican immigrants recruited from a Catholic Church in the Bronx between January 2019 and June 2019.Participants81 Mexican immigrants 18 years or older living in the Bronx, New York City.ResultsA statistically significant ( < .1) relationship was not found between sending remittances and food insecurity; however, we found that women remitters had higher odds than men remitters of having low dietary quality ( < .060). We also found that a higher Body Mass Index was associated with higher odds of experiencing low and very low food security ( < .037).ConclusionsFurther research with nationally representative data is needed to investigate the full extent of the association between remittances and nutritional outcomes of remitters.
目的
研究布朗克斯区墨西哥移民的汇款行为是否与粮食不安全加剧和饮食质量下降有关,特别关注这些关联中潜在的性别差异。
设计
展示描述性和双变量统计数据,并计算二元逻辑多元回归模型。
背景
数据来自一项研究,该研究探讨了2019年1月至2019年6月期间从布朗克斯区一座天主教堂招募的墨西哥移民的社会网络、饮食行为和结果。
参与者
81名居住在纽约市布朗克斯区的18岁及以上墨西哥移民。
结果
在汇款与粮食不安全之间未发现具有统计学意义(<0.1)的关系;然而,我们发现,女性汇款者饮食质量低的几率高于男性汇款者(<0.060)。我们还发现,较高的体重指数与经历低度和极低度粮食安全的较高几率相关(<0.037)。
结论
需要使用具有全国代表性的数据进行进一步研究,以调查汇款与汇款者营养结果之间关联的全部程度。
