我们测试了关于成人“西班牙裔死亡率悖论”的三个相互竞争的假设：数据工件，移民和文化或社会缓冲效应。基于对9年死亡率随访数据估计的一系列参数风险模型，我们的结果表明，“西班牙裔”死亡率优势是一种仅在外国出生的墨西哥人和外国出生的西班牙裔人中发现的特征，而不是古巴人和波多黎各人。我们的分析表明，在国外出生的墨西哥人的优势可以归因于回流移民，或“鲑鱼偏见”效应。然而，我们无法解释在其他外国出生的西班牙裔人中观察到的死亡率优势。
We tested three competing hypotheses regarding the adult "Hispanic mortality paradox": data artifact, migration, and cultural or social buffering effects. On the basis of a series of parametric hazard models estimated on nine years of mortality follow-up data, our results suggest that the "Hispanic" mortality advantage is a feature found only among foreign-born Mexicans and foreign-born Hispanics other than Cubans or Puerto Ricans. Our analysis suggests that the foreign-born Mexican advantage can be attributed to return migration, or the "salmon-bias" effect. However, we were unable to account for the mortality advantage observed among other foreign-born Hispanics.
