  • A cohort study of tuberculosis and influenza mortality in the twentieth century

    Benjamin S Bradshaw, Ben Bradshaw et al.ARTICLEBiodemography and Social Biology2008Cited by: 1References: 9

    We reviewed period and cohort mortality for tuberculosis and influenza and pneumonia over the twentieth century and data on the roles of influenza and tuberculosis as underlying and contributory causes of death. As would be consistent with long-term trends, each cohort had lower tuberculosis mortality but there was no decisive downturn in age specific tuberculosis mortality for any male cohort until after 1945. Tuberculosis mortality among female…

  • Smith and Bradshaw Respond

    David P Smith, Benjamin S Bradshaw et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2007

    Between 1980 and 1990, the Hispanic population aged 65 years and older in Texas increased by 75% with the change from surname classification to origin classification. With the same change in classification, deaths in the Hispanic population aged 65 years and older increased 43%. In that decade, the “Hispanic paradox” was born. Using US national data in the only way we are aware it could be used, we found a similar discrepancy between populations …

  • Rethinking the Hispanic Paradox

    David P Smith, Benjamin S Bradshaw et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2006Cited by: 29References: 15

    Objectives. We examined the “Hispanic paradox,” whereby persons of Hispanic origin seemed to experience lower mortality than the non-Hispanic White population. This paradox coincided with a change from the classification of deaths and population by Spanish surname to the use of Hispanic-origin questions in the census and vital statistics. Methods. To estimate US Hispanic and non-Hispanic White mortality, we applied a familiar relation between dea…

  • Variation in life expectancy during the twentieth century in the United States

    Open AccessDavid W Smith, Benjamin S Bradshaw et al.ARTICLEDemography2006Cited by: 10References: 11

    The National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) reports life expectancy at birth (LE) for each year in the United States. Censal year estimates of LE use complete life tables. From 1900 through 1947, LEs for intercensal years were interpolated from decennial life tables and annual crude death rates. Since 1948, estimates have been computed from annual life tables. A substantial drop in variation in LE occurred in the 1940s. To evaluate these met…

  • Decline of tuberculosis mortality in an urban Mexican-origin population, 1935-1984

    Benjamin S Bradshaw, Ben Bradshaw et al.ARTICLEBiodemography and Social Biology1997Cited by: 1References: 3

    Through a series of life table analyses, this paper describes the natural history of tuberculosis mortality in a Mexican-origin community over five decades (1935-84) during which the disease underwent a transition from a major underlying cause of death to a disease conditioned mentioned more often on death certificates as contributing to death than causing death. The decline in death rates from 1940 to 1950 was especially remarkable. Successive b…

  • Emergence of diabetes mellitus in a Mexican-origin population

    Benjamin S Bradshaw, Ben Bradshaw et al.ARTICLEBiodemography and Social Biology1995References: 11

    The "New World syndrome" is comprised of disorders that are hypothesized to have resulted from an interaction of the Amerindian genotype with an environment that includes marked changes in lifestyle and diet. The principal component of the syndrome is adult-onset (noninsulin dependent) diabetes mellitus. The purpose of this paper is to describe the emergence of diabetes in a Mexican-origin population. Using a unique file of multiple-cause mortali…

  • Potential Labor Force Supply and Replacement in Mexico and the States of the Mexican Cession and Texas

    Open AccessBenjamin S Bradshaw, Ben Bradshaw et al.ARTICLEInternational Migration Review1983Cited by: 2References: 5

    Efforts to anticipate and account for future migration patterns would seem to hinge on an examination of the potential for the supply, demand and replacement of labor. In Mexico, the projected number of males entering the labor force ages will be about 48 percent larger in the 1980s than in the 1970s and entrants will outnumber departures by a labor force replacement ratio of 407 to 100—a fifty year high. Fertility declined significantly in Mexic…
