为了确定种族对呼吸系统疾病发生的影响，计算了1969年至1977年期间新墨西哥州美洲印第安人、西班牙裔和盎格鲁人的年平均性别、种族和疾病特异性死亡率。有呼吸道癌症的发病率数据。这项研究证实了以前的研究结果，即美国印第安人的肺癌死亡率降低，无论是男性还是西班牙裔男性。美国印第安人死于肺结核、流感和肺炎的比例很高。西班牙裔男性和美洲印第安人的男性和女性慢性阻塞性肺疾病（COPD）的死亡率较低。不同的香烟使用是COPD和肺癌发生率随种族群体变化的最明显的解释。
To determine the effect of ethnic group on respiratory disease occurrence, average annual sex, ethnic, and disease specific mortality rates for the period of 1969 to 1977 were calculated for New Mexico's American Indian, Hispanic, and Anglo populations. Incidence data were available for respiratory tract cancer. This study corroborates previous findings of reduced mortality from lung cancer in American Indians of both sexes and in Hispanic males. American Indian mortality from tuberculosis and from influenza and pneumonia was high. Hispanic males and American Indians of both sexes showed low mortality rates for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Differing cigarette usage is the most obvious explanation for the variations in COPD and lung cancer occurrence with ethnic group.
