COMPARATIVE STUDY

The influence of birthplace on mortality among Hispanic residents of New York City.
Ethnicity & Disease 1997
To determine the mortality experience of Hispanic residents of New York City and the influence of birthplace on their mortality rates, NYC Department of Health mortality records for 1988 to 1992 were linked for analysis with 1990 United States census data for New York City. Age-specific death rates for all Hispanics were compared by birthplace with those of non-Hispanic whites. Age-adjusted death rates were also compared. Overall, Hispanics had death rates lower than non-Hispanic blacks, and death rates similar to those of non-Hispanic whites. Hispanics had higher rates of death from HIV-infection, diabetes, stroke/hypertensive disease, cirrhosis and homicide, and fewer deaths from cancer and coronary heart disease than did non-Hispanic whites. Moreover, there were substantial differences in mortality between Hispanic subgroups categorized by birthplace. Migrants from Puerto Rico had the highest, and those from Central and South America the lowest mortality rates. United States-born Hispanics, although younger, had age-adjusted mortality rates higher than New York City non-Hispanic whites. In summary, the mortality of Hispanics generally approximated that of non-Hispanic whites, and was lower than that of non-Hispanic blacks. However, stratification of Hispanics by birthplace revealed substantial variation within the Hispanic population of New York City.
