Subdividing the age group 65 and over into finer age groups unmasks race differentials in mortality and morbidity that often favor blacks in the older age groups. This article describes the unusual phenomena; proposes a systematic research program to explain them; and discusses existing data sets for their analysis.
将65岁及以上的年龄组进一步细分为更精细的年龄组，揭示了死亡率和发病率方面的种族差异，而这些差异在老年年龄组中往往对黑人有利。本文描述了这些不寻常的现象；提出了一个系统的研究计划来解释它们；并讨论了用于分析的现有数据集。
