County-Level Factors and Mortality Among Pacific Islander Compared With Asian American Adults
In this cross-sectional study, all-cause mortality disparities between Asian American and Pacific Islander populations worsened in counties with higher socioeconomic status and greater population density. Historical aggregation of Pacific Islander with Asian American individuals may have misled health improvement efforts, especially for Pacific Islander adults who lived in high socioeconomic and more populated areas.
