目标。这项研究调查了美国拉美裔人死亡率的社会经济差异，重点关注老年人。我们解决了先前的研究表明，西班牙裔在健康方面的社会差异小于非西班牙裔白人，并检查这些生存差异是否与老年西班牙裔人口的死亡率优势有关（即西班牙裔悖论）。我们使用泊松回归模型，基于1989 - 1994年全国健康访谈调查（National Health Interview Survey）的数据，并结合1997年的相关死亡率，根据年龄、性别和社会经济地位估计西班牙裔和非西班牙裔白人的死亡率。死亡率差别很大(p
Objectives. This study examined socioeconomic differentials in mortality among Hispanics in the United States, focusing on the older ages. We address previous research suggesting that social disparities in health are smaller for Hispanics than for non-Hispanic Whites and examine whether these differentials in survival are related to the mortality advantage that characterizes the older Hispanic population (i.e., the Hispanic paradox).Methods. We used Poisson regression models based on data from the 1989 to 1994 waves of the National Health Interview Survey, with linked mortality through 1997, to estimate death rates for Hispanics and non-Hispanic Whites by age, gender, and socioeconomic status.Results. Deaths rates varied significantly (p
