Health-related characteristics with significant differences among races/ethnicities.
| Parameter | Non-Hispanic Black | Other | Hispanic | Non-HispanicWhite | p |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mobility impairment | 32.2 a,b (17, 53) | 25.1 a (12, 46) | 26.0 a,b (10, 54) | 55.6 b (47, 64) | 0.010 |
| Poor or Fair self-rated health | 35.1 a,b (18, 57) | 19.7 a (8, 41) | 69.3 b (46, 84) | 22.2 a (16, 30) | <0.001 |
| Food insecurity/Not enough money to buy food | 30.0 a (21, 41) | 15.4 a,b (6, 36) | 39.5 a,b (11, 78) | 9.1 b (7, 13) | 0.018 |
| Diabetes | 44.0 a (27, 63) | 43.0 a (21, 69) | 58.7 a,b (40, 75) | 25.8 a,c (22, 31) | 0.001 |
| Poverty (income < $20,000/year) | 55.3 a,b (40, 69) | 35.6 a (13, 67) | 82.5 b (65, 93) | 40.5 a (34, 48) | <0.001 |
Note: Data presented as percentage and 95% CI in parenthesis. Significance is based on the adjusted F and its degrees of freedom. The adjusted F is a variant of the second-order Rao-Scott adjusted Chi-Square statistic. “Other” includes: Asians, American Indians, and Pacific Islanders. Any columns that have the same letter are not significantly different from each other. For example, for mobility impairment the “Other” race/ethnicity had significantly lower percent of mobility impairment compared to White non-Hispanics. Hispanics had significantly higher poverty as compared to White non-Hispanics. Letters, a, b, c, show differences between the column groups of race/ethnicity. These groups are different when the letters differ. Significance was considered at p < 0.05.
