Figure 1. Comparison of odds ratios of each chronic condition by ethnicity between different SES group (reference: Non-Hispanic White subjects).

Figure 1

SES modified the effect of ethnicity on the prevalence of chronic diseases, and the interaction between SES and ethnicity depended on the nature of the disease. Specifically, the patterns in which SES modified the effect of ethnicity observed among minority groups were comparatively different for diabetes, hypertension, and mood disorder from CHD. In this Figure 1, odds of diabetes, hypertension, and mood disorder were generally increased with higher SES (above the median of HOUSES) in the minority subjects, especially African American subjects, relative to Non-Hispanic White subjects, controlling for age, gender and additional pertinent risk factors. However, such patterns appeared to be reversed for CHD.
