Education, Income, and Employment and Prevalence of Chronic Disease Among American Indian/Alaska Native Elders
Chronic disease studies have omitted analyses of the
American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) population, relied on
small samples of AI/ANs, or focused on a single disease
among AI/ANs. We measured the influence of income,
employment status, and education level on the prevalence of
chronic disease among 14,632 AI/AN elders. This article has
also been included in a special collection for Preventing
Chronic Disease: Public Health Research, Practice, and
Policy titled, "PCD Collection: Eliminating Health
Disparities: A Collection of Papers Dedicated to the Life
and Work of Dr. Timothy Cunningham."
