No evidence for marked ethnic differences in accuracy of self-reported diabetes, hypertension, and hypercholesterolemia
2007, Journal of Clinical EpidemiologyCitation Excerpt :It was not possible to compare our findings on lack of ethnic differences with other studies because, as far as we know, no Dutch or international studies have investigated the accuracy of self-reports in diabetes by ethnic group. With respect to hypertension and hypercholesterolemia, a few studies conducted in the United States were found [14,15,17]. In the studies by Ford et al. [15] and Vargas et al. [14] lower sensitivities of self-reported hypertension were reported among Mexican-Americans compared to other ethnic groups in the United States, whereas Natarajan et al. [17] reported that non-Hispanic Blacks and Mexican-Americans were more likely to have a lower sensitivity of self-reported hypercholesterolemia than non-Hispanic Whites.
Agreement of self-reported comorbid conditions with medical and physician reports varied by disease among end-stage renal disease patients
2007, Journal of Clinical EpidemiologyCitation Excerpt :Inaccurate reporters of hypertension were also more likely to be male. The reason for potentially low awareness of hypertension in males is unclear although this has been reported in Hispanic males [37] and in a general population study [38]. While this may reflect awareness of disease, it may also represent differences in trust between patients and providers for a highly prevalent disease such as hypertension.
