Aging, migration, and mortality: Current status of research on the hispanic paradox
TL;DR: The majority of the evidence continues to support a mortality advantage at a minimum among Mexican Americans and especially in old age, at least among men, which may provide partial, albeit indirect, support for a selective return migration or "salmon bias" effect.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neighborhood context and mortality among older Mexican Americans: is there a barrio advantage?
TL;DR: Sociocultural advantages conferred on Mexican Americans by living in high-density Mexican American neighborhoods outweigh the disadvantages conferred by the high poverty of those neighborhoods.
The validity of race and Hispanic origin reporting on death certificates in the United States.
TL;DR: The effects of misclassification on mortality estimates were most pronounced for the AIAN population, where correcting for mis classification reverses a large AIAN over white mortality advantage to a large disadvantage, and among the Hispanic and API populations, adjustment for death certificate misclassifying did not significantly affect minority-majority mortality differentials.
