项目摘要

This is a parallel application from researchers at the Population Research Centers of the University of Wisconsin and University of Maryland. The overall goal of this application is to examine patterns, transitions, and determinants of health in a comparative framework within countries of the Latin American and Caribbean region. The study seeks to contrast patterns within the region and also with those found in the U.S., in particular with populations of Mexican origin, taking advantage of recently gathered, high- quality, comparable, and as of yet under-analyzed survey data on elderly people. The goal is to exploit the available cross-country data to identify conditions that promote (inhibit) the emergence of relations between health status and disability and well-specified determinants, and to assess how recurrent and generalizable are relations found in any one country. The specific aims of the project are: to estimate profiles and determinants of health status and disability of elderly populations in Mexico, and in seven capital cities of Latin America (Argentina, Barbados, Brazil, Cuba, Chile, Mexico, and Uruguay); to identify determinants of health and disability status using cross-sectional data to contrast health and disability profiles of populations in Mexico with that of Mexicans and Mexican-origin populations living in the U.S.; to estimate correlates of health status changes, disability transitions and mortality in Mexico and the U.S. with particular emphasis on the role of early childhood conditions, experiences with illness, and on the influence of income and wealth. Because of their increasing importance in the region, the project focuses more narrowly on diabetes and obesity, and proposes to estimate models for incidence and duration of diabetes as well as health-related costs associated with these conditions. In pursuing these goals the study adds to and fine-tunes existing methods and procedures to help address two issues: health selection among immigrants to the U.S., and estimation of couple-models to assess the effects of select determinants on health and mortality net of shared attributes.

这是一份来自大学人口研究中心研究人员的平行申请威斯康星州大学和马里兰州大学。这个应用程序的总体目标是检查模式，在拉丁美洲和加勒比国家内的比较框架内，美洲和加勒比区域。该研究旨在对比该区域内的模式，并与那些在美国发现的，特别是墨西哥裔人口，收集的、高质量的、可比较的、但尚未得到充分分析的关于老年人的调查数据。目标是利用现有的跨国数据，以确定促进（抑制）健康状况与残疾之间的关系以及明确规定的决定因素，评估在任何一个国家发现的关系的重复性和普遍性。该项目的具体目标是：估计健康状况的概况和决定因素，在墨西哥和拉丁美洲七个首都城市（阿根廷，巴巴多斯、巴西、古巴、智利、墨西哥和乌拉圭）;确定健康和残疾的决定因素使用横截面数据对比墨西哥人口的健康和残疾状况与墨西哥人和居住在美国的墨西哥裔人口的比例;来估计墨西哥和美国的健康状况变化、残疾转变和死亡率，强调幼儿期条件的作用，疾病的经历，以及收入和财富。由于其在该地区的重要性日益增加，该项目更加注重狭窄的糖尿病和肥胖症，并建议估计模型的发病率和持续时间，糖尿病以及与这些疾病相关的健康相关费用。在追求这些目标时，这项研究补充和完善了现有的方法和程序，以帮助解决两个问题：美国移民的健康选择，和估计的夫妇模型，以评估选定的决定因素对健康和死亡率的影响。
