Using the 5% Public Use Micro Data Sample (PUMS) from the 2000 U.S. census, we examine differences in disability among eight black subgroups distinguished by place of birth and Hispanic ethnicity. We found that all foreign-born subgroups reported lower levels of physical activity limitations and personal care limitations than native-born blacks. Immigrants from Africa reported lowest levels of disability, followed by non-Hispanic immigrants from the Caribbean. Sociodemographic characteristics and timing of immigration explained the differences between these two groups. The foreign-born health advantage was most evident among the least-educated except among immigrants from Europe/Canada, who also reported the highest levels of disability among the foreign-born. Hispanic identification was associated with poorer health among both native-born and foreign-born blacks.
利用 2000 年美国人口普查的 5%公共使用微观数据样本（PUMS），我们考察了在出生地和西班牙裔种族方面区分的八个黑人亚组之间残疾状况的差异。我们发现，所有出生在国外的亚组报告的身体活动限制和个人护理限制水平都低于本土出生的黑人。来自非洲的移民报告的残疾程度最低，其次是非西班牙裔来自加勒比地区的移民。社会人口特征和移民时间解释了这两个群体之间的差异。除了来自欧洲/加拿大的移民外，这种出生在国外的健康优势在受教育程度最低的人群中最为明显，而来自欧洲/加拿大的移民报告的出生在国外的残疾程度最高。西班牙裔身份与出生在本土和国外的黑人的健康状况较差有关。
