“Millions of Latinos come to America looking for jobs and educations, but remaining here seems to be bad for their health.
The longer Latinos are here, the more likely they are to become obese, to develop diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease. And Latinos born here have even higher rates of those illnesses, a new government report shows.
The analysis of immigrants’ health by the federal Centers for Disease Control comes on the heels of a report calling for more educational programs for Latinos, who are expected to increase to nearly one-fourth of the country’s population in coming years.”
