1 Cuban Americans have the highest rates of peripheral arterial disease in diverse Hispanic/Latino communities  Matthew A. Allison, MD, MPH, Franklyn Gonzalez, MS, Leopoldo Raij, MD, Robert Kaplan, PhD, Robert J. Ostfeld, MD, Maria S. Pattany, MD, Gerardo Heiss, MD, PhD, Michael H.

2 Fig 1 Odds of peripheral arterial disease (PAD; ankle-brachial index [ABI] ≤ 0.90) by Hispanic/Latino background group, weighted to the sampling probability. Reference group: Mexican Americans; vertical bars, 95% confidence intervals. Model 1: Adjusted for age, gender. Model 2: Adjusted for model 1 variables + height + waist circumference + immigrant generation, educational attainment. Model 3: Adjusted for model 2 variables + hypertension + diabetes + dyslipidemia + smoking.

3 Fig 2 Odds for “stiff arteries” (ankle-brachial index [ABI] ≥ 1.40) by Hispanic/Latino background group, weighted to the sampling probability. Reference group: Mexican Americans; vertical bars, 95% confidence intervals. Model 1: Adjusted for age, gender. Model 2: Adjusted for model 1 variables + height + waist circumference + immigrant generation, educational attainment. Model 3: Adjusted for model 2 variables + hypertension + diabetes + dyslipidemia + smoking.
