Further, the aggregation of Asians and the persistence of the model minority myth limit our understanding of the varying experiences of Asian ethnic groups. Research on Asians in the United States has primarily focused on traditional and gateway immigrant destinations in the American West ( Holland and Palaniappan 2012 Islam et al. Yet investigations of their health remain scarce. Our results underline the necessity of studying the experiences of the different Asian ethnic groups in the United States, permitting a better assessment of the varying health needs within this diverse racial group.Īsian Americans, Life expectancy, Asian ethnic groups, Health disparities, Immigrants IntroductionĪsians are the fastest growing racial group in the United States, with a population increase of 43% between 20 ( Hoeffel et al. These findings suggest the presence of underlying selection effects associated with settlement patterns among new and traditional destinations. We also found regional differences in life expectancy, where life expectancy for Asians in the West was significantly lower than all other regions. Nationally, Chinese had the highest life expectancy (males e 0 = 86.8 females e 0 = 91.3), followed by Asian Indians, Koreans, Japanese, Filipinos, and Vietnamese, generally reflecting the pattern expected given their educational attainment, our primary indicator of socioeconomic status. We estimate the life expectancy of the six largest Asian ethnic groups-Chinese, Asian Indians, Filipinos, Vietnamese, Koreans, and Japanese-analyzing data from the Multiple Cause of Death File (2012–2016) and the American Community Survey (2012–2016) in the United States at the national and regional levels. However, we should expect differences between the ethnic groups given the differences in their timing and place of migration, socioeconomic status, and racialized experiences in the United States. Most studies have not considered the unique experiences of the ethnic groups contained in the Asian racial group, implying that Asians have a shared story. Data on estimates of Healthy Life Expectancy will be released in December 2022.As the fastest growing racial group in the United States, understanding the health patterns of Asians is important to addressing health gaps in American society.The ONS publication for the UK can be found on the ONS website Life Expectancy in Scotland, 2019-2021 can be accessed on this website.It is responsible for producing statistics on Scotland’s population. National Records of Scotland (NRS) is a non-ministerial department of the devolved Scottish Administration."Our analysis shows that COVID-19 deaths accounted for the vast majority of the fall in life expectancy for both males and females. "Life expectancy has decreased by more than 11 weeks for males and almost 8 weeks for females since 2018-2020.
Julie Ramsay, Head of Vital Events Statistics at NRS, said: Life expectancy was higher in rural areas than in urban areas. Life expectancy was highest in Orkney Islands and lowest in Glasgow city for both males and females in 2019-2021, and most of Scotland’s council areas have seen life expectancy fall over the last few years. This gap has become wider in recent years and Scotland has the lowest life expectancy of all UK countries. For females the difference was 10.5 years. In the most deprived areas of Scotland, average male life expectancy was 13.7 years lower than in the least deprived areas. The figures for 2019-2021 continue the decrease of the previous year, which was the sharpest fall since 1980-1982.ĭeprivation continues to have an impact on life expectancy. Life expectancy at birth in Scotland fell in the latest year, with the average life expectancy at birth for males being 76.6 years and 80.8 years for females, according to statistics published today by National Records of Scotland.
