Sociocultural Factors and Cardiometabolic Health Among Hispanic/Latino Adults: A Narrative Review of Findings from the HCHS/SOL
Time: -Topics: Social and Environmental Context and Health, Health of Marginalized Populations
The Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL) cohort study, which enrolled 16,415 Hispanic/Latino adults (2008-2011) followed for 14-16 years, identified a high level of cardiometabolic risk factors with significant variability by Hispanic/Latino heritage. This study synthesized and assessed the contributions that HCHS/SOL has made to understanding the socioeconomic, cognitive-emotional, and cultural dimensions of cardiometabolic health among a four-site sample of the U.S. Hispanic/Latino population. We conducted a narrative review of HCHS/SOL studies that have examined associations of indicators of socioeconomic, stress and adversity, interpersonal and intrapersonal resources, and ethnic-cultural factors with cardiometabolic risk factors and conditions. Searches were performed in MEDLINE and SCOPUS to identify studies that met inclusion criteria based on titles, abstracts, and full articles through June 2024. This list was reviewed against studies the HCHS/SOL Publications Committee tracked. A total of 348 unique studies were reviewed for inclusion and exclusion criteria; 278 articles were excluded, and 70 studies were included. The studies revealed a consistent pattern of associations of adverse social determinants (e.g., low income), U.S. birth, longer time living in the U.S., and depression and anxiety symptoms with elevated cardiometabolic risk. Few studies examined intrapersonal resources or cultural factors. Studies concerning protective interpersonal resources produced variable results. Most studies used a cross-sectional design. Research that employs a longitudinal design and is theoretically informed to assess the complex interplay between social, contextual, and psychological factors and cardiometabolic health is needed to advance science regarding sociocultural dimensions of cardiometabolic health among Hispanics/Latinos using data from HCHS/SOL.
