很少有国家记录按族裔群体估计预期寿命所需的数据。这些信息是有帮助的，在评估的程度健康inequality.Method生命表创建使用3年的死亡（2001年5月至2004年4月）与苏格兰2001年人口普查数据462万人与自我报告的种族。我们根据人口普查的定义创建了8个民族，每个民族至少有5000人，40人死亡。结果苏格兰白色男性出生时的预期寿命为74.7岁（95% CI 74.6至74.8），与混合背景相似（73.0; 70.2至75.8）和白色爱尔兰人（75.0; 74.0至75.9），但比印度短（80.9; 78.4至83.4）、巴基斯坦人（79.3; 76.9至81.6）、中国人（79.0; 76.5至81.5）、其他白色英国人（78.9; 78.6至79.2）和其他白色人（77.2; 76.4至78.1）。苏格兰白色女性的预期寿命为79.4岁（79.3至79.5），类似于混合背景（79.3; 76.6至82.0），但短于巴基斯坦人（84.6; 82.0至87.3），中国人（83.4; 81.1至85.7），印度人（83.3; 80.7至85.9），其他白色英国人（82.6; 82.3至82.9），其他白色（82.0; 81.3至82.8）和白色爱尔兰人（81; 80.2至81.8）。结论男性和女性在大多数较大的少数民族群体在苏格兰有较长的预期寿命比大多数白色苏格兰人口。
Background Few countries record the data needed to estimate life expectancy by ethnic group. Such information is helpful in assessing the extent of health inequality.Method Life tables were created using 3 years of deaths (May 2001-April 2004) linked to Scottish 2001 Census data for 4.62 million individuals with self-reported ethnicity. We created 8 ethnic groups based on the census definitions, each with at least 5000 individuals and 40 deaths. Life expectancy at birth was calculated using the revised Chiang method.Results The life expectancy of White Scottish males at birth was 74.7 years (95% CI 74.6 to 74.8), similar to Mixed Background (73.0; 70.2 to 75.8) and White Irish (75.0; 74.0 to 75.9), but shorter than Indian (80.9; 78.4 to 83.4), Pakistani (79.3; 76.9 to 81.6), Chinese (79.0; 76.5 to 81.5), Other White British (78.9; 78.6 to 79.2) and Other White (77.2; 76.4 to 78.1). The life expectancy of White Scottish females was 79.4 years (79.3 to 79.5), similar to mixed background (79.3; 76.6 to 82.0), but shorter than Pakistani (84.6; 82.0 to 87.3), Chinese (83.4; 81.1 to 85.7), Indian (83.3; 80.7 to 85.9), Other White British (82.6; 82.3 to 82.9), other White (82.0; 81.3 to 82.8) and White Irish (81; 80.2 to 81.8).Conclusions Males and females in most of the larger ethnic minority groups in Scotland have longer life expectancies than the majority White Scottish population.
