采用西班牙裔健康和营养检查调查 (Hispanic HANES) 西南部样本的数据来调查社会经济变量与中年（45 至 59 岁）和老年（60 岁及以上）墨西哥裔美国人健康状况的关联。健康状况最重要、最一致的预测因素是就业。文化程度较低的男性自我评估的健康状况较差；已婚男性更有可能在访谈前一年住院，而文化程度较低的女性则不太可能住院（其他条件相同）。涉及交互项的分析显示，中年受访者的关联性比老年受访者更显着，但仅限于男性。讨论了与选择性生存论文相关的含义以及未来研究的方向。
Data from the Southwestern sample of the Hispanic Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (Hispanic HANES) were employed to investigate the association of socioeconomic variables with the health status of middle-aged (aged 45 to 59) and older (aged 60 and over) Mexican Americans. The most significant and consistent predictor of health status was employment. Less acculturated men had poorer self-assessed health; married men were more likely to have been hospitalized during the year prior to the interview, while less acculturated women were less likely to have been hospitalized (other things equal). Analysis involving interaction terms showed more significant associations in middle-aged than in older respondents, but only among men. Implications related to a selective survival thesis are discussed along with directions for future research.
