Abstract
Objective: Intersectionality approaches to examining differences in Parkinson's disease (PD) based on racialized group, gender identity, and socioeconomic status (SES) are not well covered in the literature. Additionally, the differences in daily cognitive activities for persons diagnosed with PD by racialized group, gender, and SES are undetermined. This study was conducted to explore the differences in PD daily cognitive activities for diverse racialized groups by gender and SES.
Methods: This study was a secondary analysis of the Michael J. Fox Foundation's Fox Insight online clinical dataset. Persons with PD were partitioned into 16 racialized by gender groups (Black women, Indigenous men, Latina/x women, Asian men, etc.) that were used in within-group comparisons of low-, middle-, and high-SES-a new variable comprising education and income.
Results: Intersectional analyses revealed most items differed between low-SES and high-SES except for items associated with Black and Indigenous men, for whom significant differential item functioning was found between mid-SES and high-SES.
Conclusions: These findings revealed that within-group differences exist and may be missed in research in which social factors are adjusted for instead of included in the model.
期刊介绍:
Ethnicity & Disease is an international journal that exclusively publishes information on the causal and associative relationships in the etiology of common illnesses through the study of ethnic patterns of disease. Topics focus on: ethnic differentials in disease rates;impact of migration on health status; social and ethnic factors related to health care access and health; and metabolic epidemiology. A major priority of the journal is to provide a forum for exchange between the United States and the developing countries of Europe, Africa, Asia, and Latin America.
