尽管有更差的医疗保健和其他社会劣势，移民有，平均而言，比美国更好的健康结果。天生的个体。对于拉丁裔移民来说，这被称为拉丁裔健康悖论。目前尚不清楚这种现象是否适用于无证移民。MethodsThis study used restricted加州Health Interview Survey data from 2015 to 2020.分析数据以测试拉丁裔和美国人的公民身份/证件状况与身心健康之间的关系。天生的白人分析分层的性别（男/女）和长度的美国居住（= 15年）。ResultsUndocumented拉丁裔移民有较低的预测概率报告任何健康状况，哮喘，和严重的心理困扰，并有较高的概率超重/肥胖比美国-天生的白人尽管超重/肥胖的可能性更高，但无证拉丁裔移民报告糖尿病，高血压或心脏病的可能性与美国不同。在适应了通常的护理来源后出生的白人。与美国相比，无证拉丁裔妇女报告任何健康状况的预测概率较低，超重/肥胖的预测概率较高。出生的白色女性。无证拉丁裔男性报告严重心理困扰的预测概率低于美国-出生的白色男人。有没有差异的结果时，比较较短的时间与较长的无证拉丁裔immigrations.ConclusionsThis研究观察到，拉丁裔的健康悖论可能会表达模式为无证拉丁裔移民，是不同于其他拉丁裔移民群体，强调了对这一人口进行研究时，占文件状态的重要性。
IntroductionDespite having worse healthcare access and other social disadvantages, immigrants have, on average, better health outcomes than U.S.-born individuals. For Latino immigrants, this is known as the Latino health paradox. It is unknown whether this phenomenon applies to undocumented immigrants.MethodsThis study used restricted California Health Interview Survey data from 2015 to 2020. Data were analyzed to test the relationships between citizenship/documentation status and physical and mental health among Latinos and U.S.-born Whites. Analyses were stratified by sex (male/female) and length of U.S. residence (<15 years/>= 15 years).ResultsUndocumented Latino immigrants had lower predicted probabilities of reporting any health condition, asthma, and serious psychological distress and had a higher probability of overweight/obesity than U.S.-born Whites. Despite having a higher probability of overweight/obesity, undocumented Latino immigrants did not have probabilities of reporting diabetes, high blood pressure, or heart disease different from those of U.S.-born Whites after adjusting for having a usual source of care. Undocumented Latina women had a lower predicted probability of reporting any health condition and a higher predicted probability of overweight/obesity than U.S.-born White women. Undocumented Latino men had a lower predicted probability of reporting serious psychological distress than U.S.-born White men. There were no differences in outcomes when comparing shorter- with longer-duration undocumented Latino immigrants.ConclusionsThis study observed that the Latino health paradox may express patterns for undocumented Latino immigrants that are different from those for other Latino immigrant groups, emphasizing the importance of accounting for documentation status when conducting research on this population.
