目标.这项1999年的研究测量了生活在同一条街道和同一栋建筑中的不同文化传统的拉丁美洲人的哮喘患病率。来自纽约市北布鲁克林埃尔普恩特的健康促进者调查了946户家庭的3015人，询问了标准的哮喘患病率问题。大约46%的家庭认为自己是多米尼加人，42%是波多黎各人，6%是其他拉丁美洲人，6%是其他人。报告的哮喘患病率为5.3%（1749人中有93人）在多米尼加人和其他拉丁美洲人中，（1115人中的147人）（优势比= 0.37; 95%置信区间= 0.28，0.49），位置无法解释差异（集群或建筑物）、家庭规模、使用家庭补救措施、教育程度或完成教育的国家。差异是最小的13- 24岁的男女和尖锐的妇女年龄在45岁及以上，女孩从出生到12 years.Conclusions，进一步研究油基因环境的相互作用是必要的波多黎各人和多米尼加人之间，但哮喘的协会与低收入和不健康的环境，最近的移民似乎能够更好地承受，不应被忽视。
Objectives. This 1999 study measured asthma prevalence among Latinos of different cultural traditions who live on the same streets and in the same buildings.Methods. Health promoters from El Puente in North Brooklyn, New York City, surveyed 3015 people in 946 households, asking standard asthma prevalence questions.Results. Some 46%, of households identified themselves as Dominican, 42% as Puerto Rican, 6% as other Latino, and 6% as other. Reported asthma period prevalence was 5.3% (93 of 1749) among Dominicans and other Latinos, compared with 13.2% (147 of 1115)among Puerto Ricans (odds ratio = 0.37; 95% confidence interval = 0.28, 0.49), a difference not explained by location (cluster or building), household size, use of home remedies, educational attainment, or country where education was completed. Differences were least detectable among 13- to 24-year-olds of both sexes and sharpest among women aged 45 years and older and girls from birth to 12 years.Conclusions, Further research oil gene-environment interactions is needed among Puerto Ricans and Dominicans, but asthma's associations with low income and unhealthy environment, which more recent immigrants seem better able to withstand, should not be overlooked.
