WE EXAMINED THE ASSOCIATION between sociocultural status (assimilation, modernization, and socioeconomic status) and blood pressure among people of Mexican origin living in San Antonio, Texas, and Mexico City. In San Antonio, higher levels of sociocultural status, especially education and structural assimilation, were generally associated with favorable blood pressure. In Mexico City, greater modernization had a consistently beneficial effect on blood pressure in women, but a consistently harmful effect in men. Higher education was associated with lower prevalence of hypertension and greater awareness, treatment, and control of hypertension in both sexes.
我们研究了居住在得克萨斯州圣安东尼奥市和墨西哥城的墨西哥裔人群的社会文化地位(同化、现代化和社会经济地位)与血压之间的关联。在圣安东尼奥,较高的社会文化地位,尤其是教育程度和结构同化,通常与良好的血压状况相关。在墨西哥城,更大程度的现代化对女性血压始终有有益影响,但对男性血压始终有有害影响。高等教育与两性中较低的高血压患病率以及更高的高血压知晓率、治疗率和控制率相关。
