MORTALITY AMONG MEXICAN AMERICANS AND MEXICAN IMMIGRANTS

主要目的是比较分析两国的转型。 墨西哥裔美国人死亡的多原因结构 过去50年的移民和非西班牙裔白人。我们会 开发独特的数据库，允许更广泛和更详细的 墨西哥裔人群死亡经历的调查 比到目前为止所能做到的还要多。(我们建议将此数据集 在项目完成后可供其他研究人员使用。) 将特别注意研究死亡率随时间的变化 区别墨西哥移民和墨西哥裔美国人的差异 非西班牙裔白人和最主要的死因 与墨西哥人年龄别死亡率的交叉有关 与盎格鲁男性相比起源。具体目标是：1)开发一种 跨越半个世纪(1935-1985)的死亡记录文件，已编码 系统地将所有情况(多个原因)列为导致 死亡，并根据种族认同进行类似编码；2) 研究1935-1985年以下潜在死因的趋势 包括年龄、性别和特定死因死亡率在内的常规程序 和原因删除寿命表；3)将致命缺陷模式模型应用于 删除死因模式，以估算生命收益 预期将产生于消除相关的群体，如 以及潜在的原因；4)分析人口普查数据和卫生数据 和卫生服务，可以预期影响发病率和 疾病的流行情况和人口死亡率 学习。 主要数据来源将是在押人员的死亡证明原件 在圣安东尼奥市卫生局的贝克萨尔县注册中心 地区。从1935年到1985年每年的所有死亡证明将 由病理学家根据NCHS标准基于 《国际疾病分类》第九次修订。这个 基本数据库将由以下特征的编码补充 死亡证明的遗属，1940-1980年公众的人口普查数据 使用样本(PU和1980 Pum)和社区卫生的历史数据 以及各种州和地方的记录中提供的医疗服务 经纪公司。

The major objective is the comparative analysis of the transition in the multiple cause structure of mortality among Mexican Americans, Mexican immigrants and non-Hispanic whites over the past fifty years. We will develop a unique data base that will permit a broader and more detailed investigation of the mortality experience of the Mexican origin population than has heretofore been possible. (We propose to make this data set available to other researchers following the completion of the project.) Changes in mortality over time will be studied with particular attention to differences that distinguish Mexican immigrants from Mexican Americans and non-Hispanic whites and causes of death that are most priminently associated with the crossover in age-specific death rates among Mexican origin as compared to anglo males. Specific aims are: 1) To develop a file of death records which span half a century (1935-1985) which are coded systematically for all conditions (multiple causes) listed as leading to death and which are comparably coded according to ethnic identification; 2) To examine 1935-1985 trends in underlying causes of death following conventional procedures including age-, sex, and cause-specific death rates and cause-deleted life tables; 3) To apply lethal defect pattern models for deletion of cause of death patterns in order to estimate the gains in life expectancy that would derive from elimination of groups of associated, as well as underlying, causes; 4) To analyze census data and data on sanitary and health services which can be expected to impact the incidence and prevalence of morbid conditions and the mortality of the populations studied. The primary data source will be original death certificates in the custody of the Bexar County Registrar at the San Antonio Metropolitan Health district. All death certificates for each year from 1935 through 1985 will be coded by nosological clerks according to NCHS standards based on the Ninth Revision of the international Classification of Diseases. The primary data base will be supplemented by coding of characteristics of decedents from death certificates, census data from the 1940-1980 Public Use Samples (PUS and 1980 PUMS), and historical data on community sanitary and health services available from the records of various state and local agencies.
