Abstract: Using data from the 2015 National Health Interview Survey, this article explores the relationship between socioeconomic status (SES), nativity, and health in white, black, and Latino Generation Xers. It finds that the rates of non-communicable, chronic disorders, disability, and mental health vary across groups, with Latinos and blacks having the worst health outcomes. The authors' research findings lend support to the Immigrant Health Paradox in that U.S.–born groups tend to have worse health than foreign-born groups, and results confirm the Hispanic Middle Class Health Paradox, in that low SES foreign-born Latinos have better health than U.S.–born middle-class co-ethnics.
