All values presented as weighted mean (95% confidence interval), unless a different metric (e.g., %) is noted, account for the HCHS/SOL sample design (including sampling weights, cluster sampling, and stratification) to allow appropriate generalization to the target population, cluster sampling, and stratification [32]. MESA, Multi-Ethic Study of Atherosclerosis. For all variables: 1 = monolingual Spanish, 3 = both Spanish and English equally with the exception of the MESA Language-based acculturation score where 0 = monolingual Spanish, 1 = both Spanish and English equally.
