Results of simple slopes analyses examining the SEP gradient in prevalent CAC, TAC, and extent of TAC at different levels of acculturation in Mexican-Americans from MESA 2000–2002

Post Hoc Simple Slopes Analyses (OR, 95% CI)
Effect of SEP on Outcomes at: Prevalent CAC Prevalent TAC Extent TAC
1.5 SD below mean ACC 1.21 (0.97, 1.52) 1.41 (1.07, 1.87) 1.18 (1.02, 1.37)
1.0 SD below mean ACC 1.14 (0.96, 1.37) 1.27 (1.02, 1.59) 1.13 (1.01, 1.27)
0.5 SD below mean ACC 1.09 (0.94, 1.25) 1.15 (0.97, 1.36) 1.08 (0.99,1.18)
mean ACC 1.03 (0.91, 1.16) 1.04 (0.90, 1.20) 1.03 (0.96, 1.11)
0.5 SD above mean ACC 0.97 (0.86, 1.10) 0.93 (0.80, 1.09) 0.99 (0.91, 1.07)
1.0 SD above mean ACC 0.92 (0.79, 1.07) 0.84 (0.70, 1.02) 0.94 (0.85, 1.04)
1.5 SD above mean ACC 0.87(0.72, 1.05) 0.76 (0.60, 0.97) 0.90 (0.79, 1.03)

Notes: ACC = acculturation composite score, SEP = socioeconomic position composite score. Simple slopes analyses are shown only for significant SEP by ACC interaction effects.
