Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To examine whether residence in ethnically segregated metropolitan areas is associated with increased diabetes risk for Latinos in the United States. METHODS: Population data from the 2005 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System and the 2005 American Community Survey were used to determine whether higher levels of Latino-White segregation across metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) in the United States is associated with increased diabetes risk among Latinos (n=7462). RESULTS: No significant relationship (P<.05) between levels of segregation and diabetes risk was observed. CONCLUSION: The research literature examining the impact of residential segregation on health outcomes remains equivocal for Latinos.
