Negative acculturation in sleep duration among Mexican immigrants and Mexican Americans
Abstract
Negative acculturation, the increase in high-risk profiles as immigrants live longer in the U.S., is found for a range of health behaviors and outcomes among Latino populations. Yet it has never been explored with regard to sleep duration. Using the National Health Interview Survey, we investigate Mexican immigrant and U.S.-born Mexican-American sleep durations. U.S.-born Mexican Americans are around 40% (P < 0.05) more likely to be short sleepers than Mexican immigrants after adjusting for demographic characteristics. These relationships are attenuated with the addition of health behavior variables (OR = 1.25, n.s.). This is explained because U.S.-born Mexican Americans have higher rates of smoking and stress levels, both of which are associated with increased risks of short sleeping. Because chronic partial sleep deprivation may increase health risks directly and indirectly through impaired judgment, sleep may be a mechanism through which health disparities between Mexican immigrants and U.S.-born Mexican Americans emerge.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
