Asians, Hispanics live longest in California
Tagged: CaliforniaPosted on: August 30th, 2007“Countering popular perception, a study released Wednesday shows that Asians and Hispanics in California live longer than whites and blacks.
The findings show that Asian men and women outlive whites by about five years, and Hispanic men outlive white men by two years. The disparity between Hispanic women and white women is even greater at three years.
These are among the most surprising discoveries in the Public Policy Institute of California study that analyzed death certificates, comparing the causes of death among the state’s largest ethnic and racial groups.”
