Abstract

Purpose of review: Growing racial/ethnic diversity among America's older adults necessitates additional research specifically focused on health and well-being among aging minoritized populations. Although Black and Latinx adults in the USA tend to face worse health outcomes as they age, substantial evidence points to unexpected health patterns (e.g., the race paradox in mental health, the Latino health paradox) that challenge our understanding of health and aging among these populations. In this review, we demonstrate the value of intersectionality theory for clarifying these health patterns and highlight the ways that intersectionality has been applied to minority aging research. To advance the field, we also make several recommendations for incorporating intersectional approaches in future scholarship on minority aging.

Recent findings: Scholars have applied intersectional approaches to health and aging to unravel how social statuses and social conditions, such as race, ethnicity, gender, nativity, incarceration history, geographic region, and age, produce distinct shared experiences that shape health trajectories through multiple mechanisms.

Summary: We highlight common intersectional approaches used in minority aging research and underscore the value of this perspective for elucidating the complex, and often unexpected, health patterns of aging minoritized populations. We identify several key lessons and propose recommendations to advance scholarship on minority aging.

少数民族老龄化研究的交叉方法。
综述目的:美国老年人中日益增长的种族/民族多样性需要额外的研究,特别关注老龄化少数民族人口的健康和福祉。尽管美国的黑人和拉丁裔成年人随着年龄的增长往往面临更糟糕的健康结果,但大量证据表明,意想不到的健康模式(例如,心理健康中的种族悖论,拉丁裔健康悖论)挑战了我们对这些人群的健康和老龄化的理解。在这篇综述中,我们论证了交叉性理论在澄清这些健康模式方面的价值,并重点介绍了交叉性在少数民族老龄化研究中的应用。为了推进这一领域,我们还提出了一些建议,以便在未来的少数民族老龄化研究中纳入交叉方法。最近的发现:学者们已经将交叉方法应用于健康和老龄化,以揭示社会地位和社会条件,如种族、民族、性别、出生、监禁历史、地理区域和年龄,如何通过多种机制产生独特的共同经历,从而塑造健康轨迹。摘要:我们强调了在少数民族老龄化研究中使用的常见交叉方法,并强调了这种观点在阐明少数民族老龄化人群复杂且通常意想不到的健康模式方面的价值。我们确定了几个关键的经验教训,并提出建议,以促进少数民族老龄化的奖学金。
