Depressive Symptoms, Behavioral Health Risk Factors, and Physical Illness Among Older Mexican Americans

Book Description
This study utilized data from the Hispanic Established Populations for Epidemiologic Studies of the Elderly (H-EPESE) at two different time points, seven years apart, to examine the relationship between physical illness and depressive symptoms in elderly Mexican Americans. The two physical illnesses studied are coronary artery disease and type II diabetes due to their high prevalence among Mexican Americans. The relationship between physical illness and depressive symptoms is examined longitudinally and prospectively, in both directions. In addition, the relationship between depressive symptoms and three behavioral health risk factors: alcohol use, cigarette smoking, and physical inactivity, at baseline is examined. The roles of gender, acculturation, nativity, and locus of control are examined as moderators of the key relationships studied. Additionally, self-rated health at baseline is examined as a predictor of physical illness and mortality at follow-up. Contrary to expectations, baseline physical illness was not significantly related to increased depressive symptomatology at seven-year follow-up. However, consistent with expectations, depressive symptoms at baseline significantly predicted the presence of coronary artery disease seven years later. In addition, baseline depressive symptoms also significantly predicted diabetes and diabetes complications after seven years. Baseline depressive symptoms also significantly predicted mortality. Two mediational models were also examined. The first model explored baseline coronary artery disease as a mediator of the relationship between baseline depressive symptoms and mortality. The results of this model were consistent with the proposed mediation. The results of the second model, which explored baseline alcohol use as a mediator of the relationship between baseline depressive symptoms and mortality, were not consistent with the proposed mediation. In other analyses, nativity was a significant moderator of the relationship between baseline depressive symptoms and diabetes at follow-up and between baseline depressive symptoms and subsequent mortality. In addition, self-rated health was a significant predictor of mortality.

Depression in Latinos
Author: Sergio A. Aguilar-GaxiolaPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 0387785124
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 337
Book Description
Depression ranks as a leading mental health problem among Hispanic immigrants and their US-born children. And a wide array of issues - starting with the widespread stereotype of the “illegal immigrant” - makes the Latino experience of this condition differ from that of any other group. Depression in Latinos consolidates the conceptual, diagnostic, and clinical knowledge based on this salient topic, providing coverage from prevalence to prevention, from efficient screening to effective interventions. In this concise yet comprehensive volume, leading clinicians, researchers, and academics offer extensive research and clinical findings, literature reviews (e.g., an in-depth chapter on the Mexican American Prevalence and Services Survey), and insights gathered from first-hand experience in clinical practice. Perceptive information is offered on the most urgent and complex issues on depression in this diverse and dynamic population, including: (1) The impact language, culture, and societal factors have on depression and its diagnosis. (2) The most relevant assessment instruments. (3) How depression manifests among Latino children, youth, and seniors as well as in Latinas. (4) The relationship between depression and substance abuse. (5) The most effective evidence-based treatment methods. (6) The efficacy of interventions for depression at the community level. Depression in Latinos is vital reading for clinicians, counseling and school psychologists, psychiatrists, clinical social workers, and public health professionals interested in providing their Hispanic clients with the most effective treatment possible. In addition, its coverage of the broader issues of access to care makes this volume essential reading for mental health administrators, volunteer/outreach agencies, and policymakers.
Neighborhood Cultural Environment and Anxiety and Depression Symptoms Among Majority Mexican American Adults

Book Description
Previous research on associations of neighborhood ethnic composition with indicators of mental health is limited, with findings mixed regarding the impact of Latine ethnic composition, language isolation, and other related factors in relation to depression. We hypothesized that neighborhood environments characterized by greater concentration of Latine culture were associated with lower odds of elevated self-reported depression and anxiety symptoms. We assessed cross-sectional associations at baseline between GIS-derived indicators of neighborhood cultural environments and self-reported depression and anxiety symptoms among San Diego Latines of mostly Mexican heritage. Logistic regression models adjusted for age, gender, education level, household income and place of birth/duration of US residence were used. We found that for each standard deviation of increased perceived social cohesion, participants experienced a 15% reduction in the odds of displaying depressive symptomatology (OR 0.85, CI [0.74, 0.99], p 0.03). However, the cultural environment index, which reflects neighborhood acculturation, was not associated with depression or anxiety symptomatology.
