本研究的目的是评估文化适应和功能健康之间的关联，使用多种代理的文化适应检查解释途径，以澄清不同的健康结果。使用了来自西班牙裔老年人流行病学研究人群（N = 3，050）的基于人群的横断面、多阶段概率样本。神经精神功能的因变量是抑郁症状（流行病学研究中心抑郁量表[CES-D]）和认知功能（简易精神状态检查[MMSE]），在单独的多变量回归和结构方程模型中进行检查，以检查文化适应代理和神经精神功能之间的通路。研究结果表明，三个文化适应代理与认知功能，但没有与抑郁症状。英语水平完全中介了其他文化适应代理和认知功能之间的关联。研究结果表明，语言在墨西哥裔人口的文化适应和健康之间的途径中起着核心作用。
The purpose of this study was to assess the association between acculturation and functional health using multiple proxies of acculturation to examine explanatory pathways to clarify disparate health findings. A population-based cross-sectional, multistage probability sample from the Hispanic Established Populations for the Epidemiologic Studies of the Elderly (N = 3,050) was used. The dependent variables of neuropsychiatric function were depressive symptoms (Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale [CES-D]) and cognitive function (mini-mental state examination [MMSE]) examined in separate multivariable regression and structural equation models to examine the pathways between acculturation proxies and neuropsychiatric function. Findings indicated that three acculturation proxies were associated with cognitive function but none were associated with depressive symptoms. English proficiency fully mediated the associations between other acculturation proxies and cognitive function. The findings suggest that language plays a central role in the pathway between acculturation and health among Mexican-origin populations.
