We examined whether acculturation and immigrant generation, a marker for assimilation, are associated with diabetes risk in an aging Mexican-origin population.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Methods. We analyzed data on 1789 adults aged 60 to 101 years from the Sacramento Area Latino Study on Aging. We ascertained type 2 diabetes on the basis of diabetic medication use, self-report of physician diagnosis, or a fasting glucose of 126 milligrams\/deciliter or greater. Logistic regression modeled prevalent diabetes.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Results. Adjusting for age and gender, we observed significant but divergent associations between immigrant generation, acculturation, and diabetes risk. Relative to first-generation adults, second-generation adults had an odds ratio (OR) of 1.8 (95% confidence interval [CI]\u2009=\u20091.4, 2.4) and third-generation adults had an OR of 2.1 (95% CI\u2009=\u20091.4, 3.1) of having diabetes. Greater US acculturation, however, was associated with a slightly decreased diabetes rate. In the full model adjusting for socioeconomic and lifestyle factors, the association between generation (but not acculturation) and diabetes remained significant.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Conclusions. Our study lends support to the previously contested notion that assimilation is associated with an increased diabetes risk in Mexican immigrants. Researchers should examine the presence of a causal link between assimilation and health more closely.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2105\/ajph.2012.300969","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,3,14]],"date-time":"2013-03-14T22:14:46Z","timestamp":1363299286000},"page":"e45-e52","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Immigrant Generation and Diabetes Risk Among Mexican Americans: The Sacramento Area Latino Study on Aging"],"prefix":"10.2105","volume":"103","author":[{"given":"Aimee","family":"Afable-Munsuz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"At the time the analysis was conducted, Aimee Afable-Munsuz was a research fellow with the Division of General Internal Medicine, Department of Medicine, University of California, San Francisco.
