寿命较短，健康状况不佳的时间较长，这是弱势群体生命周期的一个决定性特征吗？基于1990年5%的公共使用微数据调查，我们开发的健康（或积极）生活的主要种族群体，按性别，在美国的生命表模型。分析强调了人口发病率和死亡率之间关系的复杂性。对于亚洲人来说，寿命越长，健康状况不佳的时间就越少。相比之下，美洲原住民相对较长的寿命伴随着长期的慢性健康问题。在所有种族群体中，黑人的寿命最短，而且他们很大一部分的寿命都有慢性健康问题。西班牙裔人的寿命也大大减少，但他们与健康问题一起度过的生命周期相对压缩发病率和死亡率之间联系的种族差异表明调查慢性病和疾病预防和治疗如何与整个人口亚群的积极生活有关的重要性。
Is a shorter life with more years lived in poor health a defining attribute of the life cycle of disadvantaged groups? Based on the 1990 5% Public Use Microdata Survey we develop life table models of healthy (or active) life for the major racial groups, by sex, in the United States. The analysis underscores the complexity of the relationship between morbidity and mortality in the population. For Asians, longer life is associated with fewer years lived in poor health. in contrast, Native Americans' relatively longer lives are accompanied by extended periods of chronic health problems. Of all racial groups, blacks live the fewest years, and they live a high proportion of those years with a chronic health problem. Hispanics also live substantially fewer years, yet the period of life they spend with a health problem is relatively compressed Racial differences in the link between morbidity and mortality point to the importance of investigating how chronic diseases and disease prevention and treatment are related to active life across the population subgroups.
