Why do Hispanic and Latinos live longer?

• Hispanic Epidemiological Paradox– Refers to the contradictory finding that indicates Hispanics in the United

States tend to have significantly better health and mortality outcomes than the average population despite generally low socioeconomic status.

• Salmon bias or return-immigrant effect (equally represented by Hispanic group?)• Healthy immigrant effect• Social construct and artifact of research

• Cultural factors– Diet– Support network– Smoking – Identity
