UNASSIGNED: This study investigated the enduring health impacts of incarceration on Black men, particularly focusing on the transition into retirement. It aimed to explore the influence of race and gender on experiences of incarceration before age 50, and how such experiences affected self-rated health during the retirement transition.
UNASSIGNED: Utilizing data from the Health and Retirement Study, which followed individuals aged 50-59 for up to thirty years, this research examined the interplay of race, gender, incarceration history, and self-rated health during the retirement transition. Logistic regression and path modeling were employed for data analysis.
UNASSIGNED: Logistic regression results indicated that being Black, male, and having lower educational attainment significantly increased the likelihood of experiencing incarceration before the age of 50 (p < 0.05). This suggests that Black men with lower levels of education are at the greatest risk of incarceration. The path model revealed a correlation between incarceration experiences before age 50 and poorer self-rated health at the time of retirement.
UNASSIGNED: The findings highlighted the disproportionately high risk of incarceration among Black men, especially those with lower educational attainment, and its persistent negative impacts on health decades later, including during the transition into retirement. Addressing structural racism and the mass incarceration of Black men is crucial for achieving racial health equity as individuals retire.
■这项研究调查了监禁对黑人男性的持久健康影响,特别是关注向退休的过渡。它旨在探讨种族和性别对50岁之前的监禁经历的影响,以及这种经历如何影响退休过渡期间的自我评估健康。
■利用健康与退休研究的数据,追踪50-59岁的人长达30年,这项研究考察了种族之间的相互作用,性别,监禁史,以及退休过渡期间的自我评估健康状况。采用Logistic回归和路径建模进行数据分析。
■Logistic回归结果表明,作为黑人,男性,较低的教育程度显著增加了50岁之前被监禁的可能性(p<0.05)。这表明,受教育程度较低的黑人被监禁的风险最大。路径模型揭示了50岁之前的监禁经历与退休时自我评估的健康状况之间的相关性。
■研究结果强调了黑人男性被监禁的风险过高,尤其是那些受教育程度较低的人,以及几十年后对健康的持续负面影响,包括过渡到退休期间。解决结构性种族主义和黑人的大规模监禁对于实现个人退休后的种族健康平等至关重要。
