以前的研究发现，美国移民在健康方面的社会经济梯度相对于非西班牙裔白人和他们的美国人要弱一些。天生的种族。已经提出了几种解释，但很少有经验检验。我们使用来自墨西哥家庭生活调查和美国全国健康访谈调查的数据，包括前者测量SES和移民前健康的纵向数据，以测试1）移民是否从派遣国“进口”他们的梯度，或者2）他们是否可能由于墨西哥移民男性在两个健康指标中的SES分级涵化而发生变化：肥胖和当前吸烟。我们发现的证据与第一个假设一致：在来到美国之前测量的移民梯度与非移民梯度在统计上没有差异，因为两者的梯度相对较弱。虽然肥胖和吸烟的梯度似乎随着在美国度过的时间而减弱，这些差异并不显著，表明选择性文化适应假说没有得到多少支持。
Previous studies find U.S. immigrants have weaker socioeconomic gradients in health relative to non-Hispanic whites and their U.S.-born co-ethnics. Several explanations have been advanced but few have been tested empirically. We use data from the Mexican Family Life Survey and the U.S. National Health Interview Survey, including longitudinal data in the former measuring SES and health previous to emigration, to test if 1) immigrants “import” their gradients from the sending country, or if 2) they may be changing as a result of SES-graded acculturation among Mexican migrant men in two health indicators: obesity and current smoking. We find evidence consistent with the first hypothesis: the gradients of migrants measured prior to coming to the U.S. are not statistically different from those of non-migrants, as the gradients of each are relatively weak. Although the gradients for obesity and smoking appear to weaken with time spent in the U.S., the differences are not significant, suggesting little support for the selective acculturation hypothesis.
