The article summarizes three of the data collection studies that can assist researchers in examining population aging processes in the Latin America and Caribbean region with an emphasis on cross-national comparisons, including the population of Mexican immigrants in the United States. These are the Survey on Health and Wellbeing of Elders conducted in seven urban centers of the region, the national Mexican Health and Aging Study, and the Hispanic Established Populations for Epidemiologic Studies of the Elderly in the United States. The article describes the studies and marks them as informative, comprehensive, and still underanalyzed in particular for the purpose of cross-national analyses of aging among Latin American and Caribbean populations.
本文总结了三项数据收集研究，这些研究有助于研究人员考察拉丁美洲和加勒比地区的人口老龄化进程，重点是跨国比较，包括美国的墨西哥移民人口。这三项研究分别是在该地区七个城市中心开展的老年人健康与幸福调查、墨西哥全国健康与老龄化研究，以及美国西班牙裔老年人流行病学研究既定人群研究。本文介绍了这些研究，并指出它们信息丰富、全面，但特别是出于对拉丁美洲和加勒比地区人口老龄化进行跨国分析的目的，这些研究仍未得到充分分析。
