Abstract

Abstract: Using nationally representative data from the 2010–2014 American Community Survey, this paper provides updated disability rates for working and retirement age Hispanics in the United States. Crude and age standardized rates, disaggregated by gender, national origin group and nativity, are calculated for six measures of disability. The older foreign-born Mexican population is also disaggregated by year and age at arrival. Once age structure is controlled for older foreign-born Mexican males have higher rates of disability than non-Hispanic White males, and older foreignborn Mexican females have higher rates than both US-born Mexicans and non-Hispanic White females – findings that are at odds with immigrant health advantage theories. Further, there is limited impact of either selection on age at migration or era of migration among retirement age foreign-born Mexicans. These updated estimates are critical for researchers and policymakers and shed light on a growing population at risk for an immigrant health disadvantage.
西班牙裔移民中残疾的流行:来自美国社区调查的新证据
摘要:本文利用2010-2014年美国社区调查的全国代表性数据,提供了美国工作和退休年龄的西班牙裔美国人的最新残疾率。按性别、原籍族和出生分列的粗率和年龄标准化率是按六项残疾措施计算的。年龄较大的外国出生的墨西哥人口也按年龄和年龄分列。一旦年龄结构得到控制,年长的外国出生的墨西哥男性的残疾率高于非西班牙裔白人男性,年长的外国出生的墨西哥女性的残疾率高于美国出生的墨西哥人和非西班牙出生的白人女性——这些发现与移民健康优势理论相悖。此外,在退休年龄的外国出生的墨西哥人中,选择对移民年龄或移民时代的影响有限。这些最新的估计对研究人员和政策制定者至关重要,并揭示了越来越多的移民面临健康不利风险的人口。
