Our study quantifies the impact of achieving specific Healthy People 2010 targets and of eliminating racial/ethnic health disparities on summary measures of health. We used life table methods to calculate gains in life expectancy and healthy life expectancy that would result from achievement of Healthy People 2010 objectives or of current mortality rates in the Asian/Pacific Islander (API) population. Attainment of Healthy People 2010 mortality targets would increase life expectancy by 2.8 years, and reduction of population wide mortality rates to current API rates would add 4.1 years. Healthy life expectancy would increase by 5.8 years if Healthy People 2010 mortality and assumed morbidity targets were attained and by 8.1 years if API mortality and activity limitation rates were attained. Achievement of specific Healthy People 2010 targets would produce significant increases in longevity and health, and elimination of racial/ethnic health disparities could result in even larger gains.
我们的研究量化了实现《健康人民2010》特定目标以及消除种族/族裔健康差异对总体健康指标的影响。我们使用生命表方法来计算预期寿命和健康预期寿命的增加量，这些增加量将来自于实现《健康人民2010》目标或亚太岛民（API）人群当前的死亡率。实现《健康人民2010》的死亡率目标将使预期寿命增加2.8岁，而将全人群死亡率降至当前API的死亡率水平将增加4.1岁。如果实现《健康人民2010》的死亡率和假定的发病率目标，健康预期寿命将增加5.8岁；如果实现API的死亡率和活动受限率目标，健康预期寿命将增加8.1岁。实现《健康人民2010》的特定目标将显著提高寿命和健康水平，而消除种族/族裔健康差异可能带来更大的收益。
