[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS nlJR0xCI. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objective. I estimated the association between race and self-reported hypertension among Hispanics and non-Hispanics and determined whether this association was stronger among non-Hispanics. Methods. With data from the 1997-2005 National Health Interview Survey, I used logistic regression to estimate the strength of the association between race/ethnicity and self-reported hypertension among US adults. Results. The overall prevalence of self-reported hypertension was 24.5%, with lower prevalence among Hispanics (16.7%) than among non-Hispanics (25.2% ; P<. blacks regardless of ethnicity had the highest prevalence. compared with non-hispanic whites ratio confidence interval greater odds reporting hypertension hispanic cl="0.76,0.88)" lower odds. there was no difference in strength association between race and self-reported observed among non-hispanics for hispanics interaction p="0.43)." conclusions. previously reported advantage holds only. as continue their rapid growth united states may have important implications on disease burden because most us health disparities are driven by its socially patterned experiences.>
