Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:This study aimed to examine associations among race, the accumulation of multiple forms of discriminatory experiences (i.e., "pervasive discrimination"), and allostatic load (AL) in African Americans and whites in midlife. METHODS:Using data collected in 2004 to 2006 from 226 African American and 978 white adults (57% female; mean [SD] age = 54.7 [0.11] years) in the Midlife in the United States II Biomarker Project, a pervasive discrimination score was created by combining three discrimination scales, and an AL score was created based on 24 biomarkers representing seven physiological systems. Linear regression models were conducted to examine the association between pervasive discrimination and AL, adjusting for demographics and medical, behavioral, and personality covariates. A race by pervasive discrimination interaction was also examined to determine whether associations varied by race. RESULTS:African Americans had higher pervasive discrimination and AL scores than did whites. In models adjusted for demographics, socioeconomic status, medications, health behaviors, neuroticism, and negative affect, a pervasive discrimination score of 2 versus 0 was associated with a greater AL score (b = 0.30, SE = 0.07, p < .001). Although associations seemed to be stronger among African Americans as compared with whites, associations did not statistically differ by race. CONCLUSIONS:More pervasive discrimination was related to greater multisystemic physiological dysregulation in a cohort of African American and white adults. Measuring discrimination by combining multiple forms of discriminatory experiences may be important for studying the health effects of discrimination.
