But to take it and show that this is actually true of African immigrants as well was striking. It does have the limitation of being a cross-sectional study and a little bit smaller study, which I think is why some of those confidence intervals were so wide. The less precision around that kind of association. It was striking and it does suggest a need for more studies of its kind in the future and really shows how discrimination can influence a variety of different race and ethnic groups or people of different backgrounds, and the lasting impact it can have on your health.
