利用2000年美国人口普查的数据，我们将亚洲老年人口与美国老年人口进行了比较。出生的非西班牙裔白人在三个残疾指标方面。尽管亚洲人在健康方面相对维斯白人的任何“优势“存在于65岁以上的人群中，但我们的证据表明，这种优势主要发生在美国。出生在这个群体中。我们还调查了亚洲移民群体中残疾水平的差异是如何受到出生国以及在美国居住时间和入境时生命周期阶段的综合影响的。这些结果凸显了亚洲老年人口在移民和原籍历史与残疾结果联系方式方面的多样性。我们的结论是，在以后的生活中，移民身份在美国的亚洲人口中赋予很少的残疾优势。
Using datafrom the 2000 U.S. census, we compare the older Asian population with U.S.-born, non-Hispanic whites with respect to three indicators of disability. Insofar as any Asian "advantage " in health vis-a-vis whites exists among the population aged 65 and over our evidence suggests that it occurs primarily among the U.S.-born segments of this population. We also investigate how differences in disability levels among Asian immigrant groups are influenced by country of birth and by the combined effects of duration of residence in the United States and life cycle stage at entry. These results highlight the diversity of the older Asian population with respect to the ways in which immigration and origin history are linked to disability outcomes. We conclude that in later life, immigrant status confers few disability advantages among the Asian population in the United States.
