Joint effect of acculturation and educational attainment on prevalence* of physical activity among Latino adults, National Health Interview Survey, 2010

Acculturation Status† Educational attainment† PRs (95% CI) for educational attainment within acculturation strata (ref: low education)
High (1)
 Low (0)
PR (95% CI) PR (95% CI)
High (1) 2.24 (1.79–2.81) 1.30 (0.97–1.76) 1.70 (1.34–2.14)
P ≤ .0001 P = .0844 P ≤ .0001
Low (0) 1.67 (1.34–2.07) 1.00 (referent) 1.62 (1.27–2.07)
P ≤ .0001 P ≤ .0001
PRs (95% CI) for acculturation within educational attainment strata (ref: Low Acculturation) 1.35 (1.12–1.63) 1.18 (0.81–1.72)
P = .0016 P = .3849

CI = confidence interval; PR = prevalence ratio.

*

Prevalence ratios (PR) are adjusted for age, gender, income and nativity status/length of time in the US.

†

High acculturation represents those who speak English only or mostly; high education represents those with some college or higher education.
