Social determinants of the Latinx diabetes health disparity: A Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition analysis.

ABSTRACT: Latinx people living in the U.S. report a disproportionately high prevalence of diabetes. This project builds on the existing social determinants of diabetes literature by examining factors associated with a greater likelihood of diabetes and investigates factors correlated with the Latinx/non-Latinx disparity. This project studies the adult sample (18 and older) from the 2010-2018 IPUMS Health: National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) data. Logistic regression analyses are used to examine the patterns between reporting Latinx identity and reporting diabetes with additional subgroup analyses of the Latinx and non-Latinx groups. Then, Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition is used to examine the patterns explaining the difference in self-reported diabetes between the Latinx and non-Latinx population f
