Differences in perceived caregiver availability were examined among a random sample of Mexican American (MA) and non-Hispanic white (NHW) young-old residents (58-74 years old) in three socioeconomically distinct neighborhoods in San Antonio, Texas. For MAs across all three socioeconomic status (SES) groups, being female, widowed, and having more chronic illnesses were associated with a lesser likelihood of perceived caregiver availability. SES and number of children were not associated with perceived caregiver availability. Among MAs and NHWs of middle- and upper-SES, being male, married, and of upper-SES were associated with a greater likelihood of perceived caregiver availability. The number of children modified the associations of both SES and ethnic group with perceived caregiver availability.
在得克萨斯州圣安东尼奥市三个社会经济状况不同的社区中，对墨西哥裔美国人（MA）和非西班牙裔白人（NHW）的年轻老年人（58 - 74岁）进行随机抽样，研究他们所感知到的照料者可获得性的差异。对于所有三个社会经济地位（SES）组中的墨西哥裔美国人而言，女性、丧偶以及患有更多慢性疾病与所感知到的照料者可获得性较低的可能性相关。社会经济地位和子女数量与所感知到的照料者可获得性无关。在中高社会经济地位的墨西哥裔美国人和非西班牙裔白人中，男性、已婚以及高社会经济地位与所感知到的照料者可获得性较高的可能性相关。子女数量改变了社会经济地位和种族群体与所感知到的照料者可获得性之间的关联。
