TLDR: Hispanic boomers are unhealthy, poor, cannot work in their old age and need government handouts for health care and living expenses.

Did I miss anything?



Eta "Current research indicates Hispanic Boomers due to high poverty rates, low education rates, and poor health lack adequate economic resources going into old age and will not be healthy enough to work beyond the current retirement age. Low educational levels indicate Mexican-origin Boomers will continue to be in low-paying jobs that often lack retiree benefits."

Cliffs notes:

Mexicans who move to the US live longer than other Mexicans.

Mexicans in the US have more obesity, diabetes and heart disease than other Americans and therefore don't live as long.

You're welcome.

I thought this might be an interesting parody / follow up to the Midwest Taco thread...  disappointed.

Hispanics have better mortality outcomes but worse morbidity and disability rates overall than non-Hispanic Whites (Markides & Wallace, 2007); this has been described as the “Hispanic paradox.” This advantage is concentrated among immigrant adults and dissipates with years in the United States (Markides & Eschbach, 2005).

Better access to Healthcare in the US, tied with more rich diet of good food that's bad for you.















Eating that everyday while young and active with access to good Healthcare means a pretty good life. Being old and busted and sitting in a lazy boy, eating that everyday means health issues.

A number of Hispanics immigrants work harder jobs in the trades and agriculture industries. They beat up their bodies more.

I am not sure the paradox. On average they live a more physical life than white people. That leads to more disability but also makes them tougher so they don’t die easily.  Some roofer can handle the same health issue more easily than an office weenie, but he may not be able to do his job anymore.

The obesity is tied to the awesome food.

Exactly... if your average non Hispanic White is an extra from Disney's Wall-E and your Hispanic is a guy who fornthirty years picked up concrete sacks and carried them up flights of stairs at apartments being built..... their health conditions and issues will be different.

And yes, the food is awesome.

Do Hispanics have a lot of 'good' oils in their diet like the southern Europe?

Dunno about other things but it certainly seems to reduce artery/hart stuff down there

Depends.... does the fat drippings off roasted pork count as "good oils"?

When are they gonna do Fat Hawaii?  

If there was ever a diet that was a fucking express train to grotesque obesity, they've got it.

Never heard of Yerba Mate Soda. Early research of this product is promising.
