Abstract
Purpose
To examine nativity differences of co-occurring liver disease (LD) and heart failure (HF) on 13-year mortality among Mexican American older adults.
Methods
Prospective cohort study of 1601 Mexican Americans aged ≥ 75 years from the Hispanic Established Population for the Epidemiologic Study of the Elderly (2004/05–2016). Participants were grouped into four groups: no LD and no HF (n = 1138), LD only (n = 53), HF only (n = 382), and both LD and HF (n = 28). We used Cox proportional hazards regression model to estimate the hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of death over time.
Results
The HR of death, as a function of HF only, was 1.32 (95% CI=1.07–1.62) among US-born and 1.36 (95% CI=1.04–1.78) among foreign-born participants, vs. those with no LD and no HF. Among foreign-born participants, the HR of death as a function of LD and HF was 3.39 (95% CI=1.65–6.93) vs. those without either. LD alone was not associated with mortality in either group. Among US-born, co-occurring LD and HF was not associated with mortality.
Conclusions
Foreign-born participants with both LD and HF were at higher risk of mortality over 13 years of follow up.

The journal emphasizes the application of epidemiologic methods to issues that affect the distribution and determinants of human illness in diverse contexts. Its primary focus is on chronic and acute conditions of diverse etiologies and of major importance to clinical medicine, public health, and health care delivery.
