OBJECTIVES
Previous research on the association between education and older adult health in the U.S. has not included Puerto Rico. We investigated the effects of multigenerational educational attainment and chronic conditions among older Puerto Ricans residing on the archipelago's main island.
METHODS
Data were from the longitudinal Puerto Rican Elderly Health Conditions Project. Generalized Poisson regression models were used to examine if multigenerational educational attainment was associated with chronic disease.
RESULTS
Findings show that parental educational attainment was associated with fewer chronic conditions among females at baseline but not at follow-up, suggesting that the effects of parental education on health over time are less pronounced. For males, educational attainment across the three generations was not significantly associated with chronic disease at baseline or follow-up.
DISCUSSION
Multigenerational education is an important determinant of older adult health that continues to be relevant in Puerto Rico and the Latin American and Hispanic-Caribbean region.
目的
以往关于美国教育与老年健康之间关联的研究并未纳入波多黎各。我们调查了居住在该群岛主岛上的波多黎各老年人中多代教育程度和慢性疾病的影响。
方法
数据来自纵向波多黎各老年人健康状况项目。使用广义泊松回归模型来检验多代教育程度是否与慢性疾病有关。
结果
研究结果表明，父母的教育程度与女性在基线时的慢性疾病数量较少有关，但在随访时没有关联，这表明父母教育对健康的影响随着时间的推移不太明显。对于男性，三代人的教育程度在基线或随访时均与慢性疾病无关。
讨论
多代教育是老年健康的一个重要决定因素，在波多黎各以及拉丁美洲和西班牙裔加勒比地区仍然具有重要意义。
