多米尼加人是波多黎各最大的移民社区，但研究不足。我们比较了多米尼加人与波多黎各人（PR）的风险因素和健康状况。多米尼加人（n = 55）和PR（n = 310）年龄在30-75岁的横断面调查，评估有效的问卷和标准化的人体测量。值得注意的是，多米尼加人比PR更多的人接受了8年级以下的教育（37.7%对8.0%），报告家庭收入≤ 10，000美元（76.1%对56.9%），缺乏健康保险（19.6%对5.5%），并报告粮食不安全（24.5%对12.1%）。他们每天看电视的时间更少（2.9比3.8），吸烟的可能性更小（7.6比19.6%）。多米尼加人中医学诊断的抑郁症低于PR（9.6%对23.0%）;基于药物的高抑郁症相似（47.9%对52.8%）。生活在波多黎各的多米尼加人有更多的社会经济风险因素，但更健康的生活方式行为和医学诊断的抑郁症的患病率低于PR。需要采取有针对性的办法来改善每个族裔群体的差异。
Dominicans are the largest migrant community in Puerto Rico, yet understudied. We compared risk factors and health conditions of Dominicans versus Puerto Ricans (PRs). Cross-sectional survey of Dominicans (n = 55) and PRs (n = 310) aged 30–75 years, assessed with validated questionnaires and standardized anthropometric measurements. Significantly, more Dominicans than PRs had attained <8th grade education (37.7 vs. 8.0%), reported household income ≤$10,000 (76.1 vs. 56.9%), lacked health insurance (19.6 vs. 5.5%), and reported food insecurity (24.5 vs. 12.1%). They spent fewer hours/day watching television (2.9 vs. 3.8), and were less likely to smoke (7.6 vs. 19.6%). Medically-diagnosed depression was lower among Dominicans than PRs (9.6 vs. 23.0%); questionnaire-based high depressive symptomatology was similar (47.9 vs. 52.8%). Dominicans living in Puerto Rico had more socioeconomic risk factors but healthier lifestyle behaviors and lower prevalence of medically-diagnosed depression than PRs. Tailored approaches are needed to ameliorate disparities in each ethnic group.
