Race and Ethnicity Moderates the Relationship Between Family Income Level and Allostatic Load Among Adolescents in the United States
Purpose
People from low-income households are at risk of high allostatic load (AL) in adulthood, which is linked to poor physical and mental health outcomes. It is unclear how early the income–AL link develops and whether this association differs by race and/or ethnicity. We examined associations of family income with high AL among adolescents and whether race and/or ethnicity modified associations.
Methods
Cross-sectional, nationally representative data came from 748 US adolescents (aged 12–17 years) who participated in the prepandemic 2017–March 2020 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Family income was measured using poverty–income ratio (PIR) and categorized as low income (PIR <1.0), middle income (PIR 1.0–4.0), and high income (PIR >4.0). AL was derived from 9 biomarkers. Modified Poisson regression models estimated prevalence ratios (PRs) for associations of family income with high AL overall and stratified by race and/or ethnicity (non-Hispanic White, non-Hispanic Black, and Hispanic).
Results
Nearly 1 in 5 adolescents (19.7%) met the criteria for high AL. Compared to high-income peers, middle-income adolescents had more than twice the prevalence of high AL (PR: 2.16; 95% confidence interval: 1.13–4.13), and low-income adolescents had nearly triple the prevalence of high AL (PR: 2.98; 95% confidence interval: 1.76–5.04). Stratified models observed these associations only for non-Hispanic White adolescents, while for non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic youth, associations were attenuated and nonsignificant.
Discussion
Higher family income was protective against high AL only for non-Hispanic White adolescents. Minority youth may face additional stressors that diminish the protective effects of higher income.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Adolescent Health is a scientific publication dedicated to enhancing the health and well-being of adolescents and young adults. Our Journal covers a broad range of research topics, spanning from the basic biological and behavioral sciences to public health and policy. We welcome a variety of contributions, including original research papers, concise reports, literature reviews, clinical case reports, opinion pieces, and letters to the editor. We encourage professionals from diverse disciplines such as Anthropology, Education, Ethics, Global Health, Health Services Research, Law, Medicine, Mental and Behavioral Health, Nursing, Nutrition, Psychology, Public Health and Policy, Social Work, Sociology, and Youth Development to share their expertise and contribute to our mission of promoting adolescent health. Moreover, we value the voices of young individuals, family and community members, and healthcare professionals, and encourage them to submit poetry, personal narratives, images, and other creative works that provide unique insights into the experiences of adolescents and young adults. By combining scientific peer-reviewed research with creative expressions, our Journal aims to create a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and opportunities in adolescent and young adult health.
