A research by the National Center for Health Statistics is

seen as an important confirmation of the “Hispanic mortality

paradox(

西班牙裔死亡率悖论).”

< br>

The Hispanic paradox has been documented for more than two

decades, but this is the first time the government has had

enough data to issue national numbers. Researchers are

struggling to explain why Hispanics live longer.

“We don’t know,” says David Hayes

-Bautista, director of

the Center for the Study of Latino Health and Culture at

UCLA’s David Geffen School of Medicine. “We thought it was

a problem in the data, but we can pretty much say this is

real.”

Potential factors:

·Culture and lifestyle. Support

from extended family and

lower rates of smoking and drinking. Latino groups in

particular have very strong family and social ties.

“Solving the puzzle may help the nation deal with health

care issues because Hispanics use health services less

they

make f

ewer doctors visits and spend less time in hospitals,”

Hayes Bautista says. “It’s clearly something in the Latino

culture,” he says.

to a family gathering at the home of her other grandparents.

Everyone was having a wonderful time visiting and catching up

on all the latest family news.

Like most children, Tegan was having a good time playing with

all the

toys that were different

from her own

and that were

kept

for

children

to

play

with

at

her

grandparents’

house.

In particular, Tegan had found a little tea set and had begun

pretending

that

she

was

having

a

tea

party.

She

set

up

all

the place settings and arranged her table with the great care

and elegance that only a three- year-old can create. Meanwhile,

her Daddy was engrossed in conversation, and as he continued

to chat with his family, Tegan would hand him a cup of

Her

Daddy,

who

always

tries

to

participate

in

her

games,

would pause for a few seconds from his conversation, and say

all

the

proper

words

and

gestures

for

her

tea

party

which

would

thrill

Tegan.

He

would

request

two

lumps

of

sugar.

He

would

tell

her

how

wonderful

her

tea

tasted,

and

then

he

would continue his adult conversation with his family.

After

going

through

this

routine

several

times,

her

Daddy

suddenly awoke to reality as he had a flash of concern in his

mind:

‘tea’

that

I've

been

dutifully

drinking?

He

quietly

followed her, without her knowing, and his fears were growing

stronger as he saw her turn and go through the bathroom door.

Sure

enough,

there

she

was

stretching

up

on

her

tippy

toes

reac

hing up to get her ‘tea’ water

-- out of the container

of water that grandpa used to soak his false teeth!
