Objective.为了测试种族隔离和死亡率之间的关系，使用多维的基于种族隔离的措施。这项分析的数据来自美国黑人全国调查（NSBA），这是一个全国性的多阶段概率样本，共有2，107名非洲裔美国人（年龄在18-101岁之间）。NSBA是作为家庭调查进行的。NSBA与国家死亡指数（NDI）相匹配。前瞻性队列研究，其中考克斯回归分析用于检查基线变量对13年内死亡时间的影响。主要发现。在控制了年龄、健康状况和其他死亡率预测因素后，暴露于种族隔离的受访者在研究期间生存的可能性显著降低。这些结果支持了以前将隔离与健康结果联系起来的研究。
Objective. To test the relationship between racial segregation and mortality using a multidimensional questionnaire-based measure of exposure to segregation.Data Sources. Data for this analysis come from the National Survey of Black Americans (NSBA), a national multistage probability sample of 2,107 African Americans (aged 18-101). The NSBA was conducted as a household survey. The NSBA was matched with the National Death Index (NDI).Study Design. Prospective cohort study, where Cox regression analysis was used to examine the effect of baseline variables on time to death over a 13-year period.Principal Findings. Respondents who were exposed to racial segregation were significantly less likely to survive the study period after controls for age, health status, and other predictors of mortality.Conclusion. The results support previous studies linking segregation with health outcomes.
