Abstract

Quote p. 10. This paper evaluates evidence regarding racial and ethnic differences in mortality in the United States. In keeping with the theme we emphasize mortality at older ages; specifically we death with ages 45 and above and attempt to extend the analyses to ages 100 and older. We focus on recent estimates rather than attempting a broader historical overview. We give our main attention to mortality rates from all causes combined although we refer to studies of racial and ethnic differences in mortality by cause of death in a later section. We deal with four major groups: African Americans Hispanics Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders and whites (or on occasion non-Hispanic groups). The analyses are organized by type of data sources available: vital statistics/census-derived rates linked data files and extinct generation methods. (EXCERPT)
