Title
Rethinking the Hispanic paradox: death rates and life expectancy for US non-Hispanic White and Hispanic populations.
Authors
Smith, David P; Bradshaw, Benjamin S
Abstract
We examined the "Hispanic paradox," whereby persons of Hispanic origin seemed to experience lower mortality than the non-Hispanic White population. This paradox coincided with a change from the classification of deaths and population by Spanish surname to the use of Hispanic-origin questions in the census and vital statistics.
