Abstract
(type = abstract)
The purpose of the study was to explore the relationship between acculturation status and diabetes prevalence in U.S. Hispanics. Thus, the study goal was to determine if acculturation status predicts diabetes prevalence in Hispanics in the U.S. The main hypothesis for this study is: Acculturation status significantly predicts diabetes prevalence in Hispanic adults. This main hypothesis is based on the main research question: How does acculturation status relate to diabetes prevalence in adult Hispanics in the U.S.? In addition, the study included an investigation into covariates that might influence the relationship between acculturation status and diabetes prevalence. Thus, the relationships between age, gender, occupation, income, health insurance, physical activity and fitness, alcohol use, smoking and tobacco use, weight history, anyone on a special diet, types of food available at home, and types of food prepared-eaten and diabetes prevalence were explored. This study was therefore driven by the following research questions and associated statistical hypotheses: Research Question #1: How does acculturation status relate to diabetes prevalence in adult Hispanics in the U.S.? Research Question #2: How does age relate to diabetes prevalence in adult Hispanics in the U.S.? Research Question #3: How does gender relate to diabetes prevalence in adult Hispanics in the U.S.? Research Question #4: How does occupation relate to diabetes prevalence in adult Hispanics in the U.S.? Research Question #5: How does income relate to diabetes prevalence in adult Hispanics in the U.S.? Research Question #6: How does health insurance relate to diabetes prevalence in adult Hispanics in the U.S.? Research Question #7: How does physical activity and fitness relate to diabetes prevalence in adult Hispanics in the U.S.? Research Question #8: How does alcohol use relate to diabetes prevalence in adult Hispanics in the U.S.? Research Question #9: How does smoking and tobacco use relate to diabetes prevalence in adult Hispanics in the U.S.? Research Question #10: How does weight history relate to diabetes prevalence in adult Hispanics in the U.S.? Research Question #11: How do acculturation status, age, gender, occupation, income, health insurance, physical activity and fitness, alcohol use, smoking and tobacco use, and weight history relate to diabetes prevalence in adult Hispanics in the U.S.? Research Question #11b: How do acculturation status, age, gender, occupation, income, health insurance, physical activity and fitness, alcohol use, smoking and tobacco use, weight history, anyone on a special diet, types of food available at home, and types of food prepared-eaten relate to diabetes prevalence in adult Hispanics in the U.S.? Research Question #12: How does anyone on a special diet (any family member) relate to diabetes prevalence in adult Hispanics in the U.S.? Research Question #13: How does types of food available at home relate to diabetes prevalence in adult Hispanics in the U.S.? Research Question #14: How does types of food prepared-eaten relate to diabetes prevalence in adult Hispanics in the U.S.? Quantitative archival research was used to gather data. Findings demonstrated that none of these factors significantly predicted diabetes prevalence.
