在一系列健康结果中,种族和族裔群体之间存在差异。在这篇评论文章中,我们考虑了种族和民族群体的起源,这是一段突出这些术语的社会政治性质的历史。事实上,种族和族裔这两个术语纯粹是作为社会结构而存在的,不能与遗传祖先互换使用。没有科学证据表明,我们传统上称之为“种族/民族”的群体具有不同的、统一的生物学或遗传学基础。这样的关注有可能加剧股权差距,并使错误结论永久化。尽管如此,我们建议,种族和族裔这两个术语继续作为量化和缩小种族和民族差异的透镜。了解这种健康差距的根本原因--即长期存在的种族主义和种族中心主义--可以促进旨在公平改善人口健康的干预措施和政策。
Disparities across racial and ethnic groups are present for a range of health outcomes. In this opinion piece, we consider the origin of racial and ethnic groupings, a history that highlights the sociopolitical nature of these terms. Indeed, the terms race and ethnicity exist purely as social constructs and must not be used interchangeably with genetic ancestry. There is no scientific evidence that the groups we traditionally call “races/ethnicities” have distinct, unifying biological or genetic basis. Such a focus runs the risk of compounding equity gaps and perpetuating erroneous conclusions. That said, we suggest that the terms race and ethnicity continue to have purpose as lenses through which to quantify and then close racial and ethnic disparities. Understanding the root cause of such health disparities—namely, longstanding racism and ethnocentrism—could promote interventions and policies poised to equitably improve population health.
