Social gerontological theory in the United States has developed without attention to ethnic minority groups. Recent theoretical developments in the field of ethnic minority aging are reviewed with particular emphasis on the double jeopardy hypothesis that stresses the double disadvantage of minority status and of growing old. It is further suggested that the field of ethnicity and aging can profit from applications of the modernization theory of aging, assimilation theory, and the 'internal colonialism' perspective from the race and ethnic relations literature.
美国的社会老年学理论在发展过程中未关注少数族裔群体。本文回顾了少数族裔老龄化领域的近期理论发展，特别强调了双重风险假说，该假说强调少数族裔身份和老龄化带来的双重不利处境。文章还进一步指出，种族与老龄化领域可从老龄化现代化理论、同化理论以及种族和族裔关系文献中的“内部殖民主义”视角的应用中获益。
