This study identifies the risk and protective factors associated with informal caregiving by older (?0?years) Mexican Americans and profiles caregiving arrangements. Overall, a greater number of informal caregivers (n?=?92) were married and female. They also had higher physical functioning and better cognition than non-caregivers (n?=?1,888) but fewer visited a physician regularly. Informal caregivers also showed an increased risk of depressive symptoms. A third of caregivers spent more than 20?h/day caregiving and the majority (84%) of care recipients were family members. In order to support the efforts of this disproportionately burdened caregiver group, increased social support and healthcare services are needed.
