Association of US Nativity and Length of US Residence With Cardiometabolic Risk Factors, by Disaggregated Race and Ethnicity.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The prevalence of cardiometabolic risk factors may vary by disaggregated race and ethnicity categories, and by acculturation-related factors.

Results

Results showed substantial heterogeneity among both aggregated a
