CAUSES: Causes of Asian American mortality Understood by Socio-Economic Status

项目总结 亚裔美国人是美国增长最快的种族/民族群体，人口超过14 预计到2050年，这一数字将达到近3400万。然而，我们目前对亚洲人的理解 美国人是一个聚集的群体，人们对这六个不同的亚裔美国人知之甚少 种族/民族亚群(亚裔印度人、中国人、菲律宾人、日本人、韩国人和越南人)，他们有 广泛的疾病风险、移民史和社会经济地位。目前有一种知识是 在这些不断扩大的亚群的健康方面存在差距，而且没有信息建议进行研究 议程，制定公共卫生政策，并提供临床指南。我们目前对亚裔美国人的理解 死亡模式被不同亚群的聚合所扭曲，这些亚群是由外国出生的和美国出生的 出生人口，以及社会人口因素的未知影响。当美国人口普查第一次开始时 亚洲亚群的分解在1980年，美国死亡记录中的亚洲亚群发生了分解 更晚的是在2003年，现在美国50个州中有超过一半的州分解了亚裔亚群。这样做的目的是 这项研究旨在检验亚裔美国人亚群死亡率的种族/民族、出生地和地理差异。 与其他种族/民族(非西班牙裔白人、非裔美国人、西班牙裔美国人)相比。调查 出生和考虑社会人口因素的不同亚组中的特定原因死亡率将是 在评估和解决亚裔美国人社区的健康差距方面至关重要。

PROJECT SUMMARY Asian Americans are the fastest growing racial/ethnic group in the United States, with a population of over 14 million that is projected to reach nearly 34 million by 2050. However, our current understanding of Asian Americans is as an aggregated group, and very little is known about the six diverse Asian American racial/ethnic subgroups (Asian Indian, Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese), who have a wide range of disease risks, immigration histories, and socioeconomic status. There is currently a knowledge gap on the health of these expanding subpopulations, and there is no information to recommend research agendas, create public health policy, and offer clinical guidelines. Our current understanding of Asian American mortality patterns is distorted by the aggregation of distinct subgroups, the grouping of foreign-born and U.S.- born populations, and the unknown impact of sociodemographic factors. While the U.S. Census first started disaggregating Asian subgroups in 1980, disaggregation of Asian subgroups on U.S. death records occurred much later in 2003, and now over half of the 50 U.S. States disaggregate Asian subgroups. The goal of this study is to examine racial/ethnic, nativity, and geographic differences in Asian American subgroup mortality compared to other racial/ethnic groups (Non-Hispanic Whites, African Americans, Hispanics). Investigation of cause-specific mortality in distinct subgroups, by nativity, and considering sociodemographic factors will be fundamental in assessing and addressing health disparities in Asian American communities.
