This paper compares the mortality experience of foreign- and native-born Irish, Italians, and Jews in New York City in 1979-81. In most cases, denominator data were not available, so proportional mortality analysis was used. An estimation procedure was undertaken to show the degree to which standardized proportional mortality ratios approximate relative standardized mortality measures. Major and lifestyle-related causes of death were examined, as were specific sites of cancer. While no consistent pattern merged which related nativity or ethnicity to the relative distribution of mortality, it does appear that the intra-ethnic patterns of the Irish group were unique relative to those of the Italian and Jewish groups. Overall, this study suggests a number of interesting relationships between ethnicity, nativity, and the distribution of mortality by cause.
本文比较了1979 - 1981年在纽约市出生于国外和本土的爱尔兰人、意大利人和犹太人的死亡情况。在大多数情况下，分母数据不可用，因此使用了比例死亡率分析。采用了一种估计程序来表明标准化比例死亡率与相对标准化死亡率测量值的近似程度。研究了主要的和与生活方式相关的死因，以及癌症的特定部位。虽然没有出现将出生地或种族与死亡率的相对分布联系起来的一致模式，但爱尔兰群体的族内模式相对于意大利和犹太群体而言确实显得独特。总体而言，这项研究表明了种族、出生地和死因死亡率分布之间的一些有趣关系。
