Notes: Differences refer to statistically significant higher or lower mortality risk of the Hispanic subgroup with respect to non-Hispanic white men and women of the same age. Unadjusted models control only for age and year of interview. Adjusted models control for socioeconomic covariates: education, family income, employment status, marital status, family size. Comparisons with no sex specified means that the advantage/disadvantage pertains to both men and women.
