Claudia M. Lora M.D., M.S. Assistant Professor

University of Illinois at Chicago Department of Medicine Division of Nephrology

Objectives

• Review kidney disease disparities in Hispanics/Latinos

• Understand the potential role of culture in health disparities

• Review nutritional content of the Traditional Hispanic/Latino Diet

• Discuss cross cultural nutritional counseling

Disclaimer

• Hispanics in the U.S. are culturally, socio-economically, and genetically diverse

• Avoid stereotypes

• Relationships described may have subtle differences among Hispanic groups

• Undocumented immigrants--growing and understudied segment in which these relationships may be amplified

ROLE OF HEALTH LITERACY AND ACCULTURATION IN CKD PROGRESSION

ACCULTURATION

• Definition: the process by which individuals adopt the attitudes, values, customs, beliefs, and behaviors of another culture

Original

Culture New Culture

HIGHER ACCULTURATION

PROS: • Higher Use of Preventive

Health Services • More Likely to Have Health

Insurance • Higher Access to Health Care • Increased Adherence to

Treatment • Higher Socioeconomic Status • Greater Exercise • Greater Leisure Time Activity

CONS:

• Increased Obesity

• Increased Fat Intake

• Increased Fast Food Consumption

• Decreased Intake of Fruits and Vegetables

• Increased risk of Smoking (particularly in women)

• Increased Alcohol Consumption

ACCULTURATION AND CARDIOVASCULAR RISK FACTORS

Study Findings

HCHS/SOL Daviglus et al 2012

• Higher acculturation associated with >3 cardiovascular risk factors compared to lower acculturation.

NHANES Kershaw et al 2012

• Foreign born Mexican-Americans were more likely to be low risk than non-Hispanic Whites.

• U.S. born Mexican-Americans were less likely to be low risk than non-Hispanic Whites.

ACCULTURATION AND MORTALITY

Study Findings

San Antonio Heart Study (Diabetic participants) Hunt et al 2002

• U.S.-born Mexican Americans had a greater risk of all cause and cardiovascular mortality compared to non-Hispanic Whites.

San Antonio Heart Study (Elderly participants) Colon-Lopez et al 2009

• Earlier migration age conferred a higher risk of cardiovascular mortality.

Dietary Adherence in Hispanics Receiving Hemodialysis

Morales Lopez. Journal of renal nutrition. 2007

Adherence


Attitudes Toward Adherence


Behaviors Related to Adherence


CULTURAL COMPETENCE

• Acknowledge the culture served – Posters, printed materials, audio-visual tools that

reflects the culture

– Translational Services

– Bilingual/Bicultural/Multicultural Staff

• Acquire cultural knowledge & skills – Diet

– Learning key words in Spanish/Colloquialisms

• View behavior within a cultural context – Beliefs

Objectives of Cross Cultural Nutrition Counseling

• Assess attitudes, beliefs, practices and rituals associated with food before discussing lifestyle changes

• Provide individualization for cultural patterns.

• Determine which dietary habits, if any, are detrimental to the patient.

• Correct diet deficits

• Offer suggestions for changes in food preparations

Burrowes, JD. Advances in Renal Replacement 2004.

Kittler And Sucher 4 Step Process

Step 1: Become familiar with your own cultural attitudes and knowledge. Examine your own comfort interacting with individuals from a different cultural background.



Step 2: Become acquainted with the cultural background, eating patterns, and cultural and ethnic influences on food consumption in the patient.


Dominican Christmas Food

Mexican Christmas

• Research

• Shopping in neighborhood food stores

• Learning about where food is purchased; what food is available, how it is stored, prepared, served and consumed.

• Ask the patient and/or family member about specific foods and food practices.

– e.g. diary

• Ask other health care professionals



Step 3: Establish the patient’s food habits and personal preferences (include the person who does the food shopping and preparation).



Step 4: Modify the diet to incorporate the personal food preferences of the patient.


Conclusion

• The Hispanic population is fast growing minority population.

• Hispanics are culturally, socioeconomically, and genetically different

• Acculturation level may vary by individual and may influence health outcomes

• This factor needs to be taken into account when counseling Hispanics patients.

Conclusion

• The Hispanic population is the fastest growing and largest minority population.

• Hispanics are culturally, socioeconomically, and genetically different

• Health literacy, acculturation, and social support may vary by individual and may influence health outcomes

• These factors need to be taken into account when counseling Hispanics patients.
