To examine ethnic differences in infectious disease-related mortality in New Mexico's American Indian, Hispanic White and other White populations, we analyzed vital records data from 1958 to 1987. We found that for most infectious causes, American Indians had the highest mortality rates, followed by Hispanics. The state's minority populations remain at increased risk for infectious disease mortality.
为研究新墨西哥州美洲印第安人、西班牙裔白人和其他白人在传染病相关死亡率方面的种族差异，我们分析了1958年至1987年的重要记录数据。我们发现，对于大多数传染病病因，美洲印第安人的死亡率最高，其次是西班牙裔。该州少数族裔人群的传染病死亡风险仍然较高。
