In a report issued Tuesday the CDC looked at the health issues of the Hispanic population in the U.S. noting that currently 1 in 6 people in the U.S. are Hispanic but by 2035 that proportion is likely to be almost 1 in 4.
According to the report, the Hispanic death rate is 24 percent lower than whites and Hispanics live on average two years longer than whites.
The CDC explains that while Hispanics are more likely to be living in poverty, lack a high school degree and not have health insurance they are less likely to be affected by the leading causes of death among whites.
As to why the statistics have Hispanics living longer than whites, the report offers a few ideas.
Lower smoking rates among Hispanics, immigration of healthy immigrants, reverse migration of more ill or elderly immigrants, and higher levels of family support might help to explain this mortality advantage for some Hispanic origin groups, the report reads. In addition, being born in the United States and increasing length of time since arrival in the United States are associated with many risk factors and poor health outcomes. This also is reflected in the overall poor health status of the United States compared with other developed nations.

Life in NYC improved enormously after the arrival of the Hispanics (mostly Dominicans linking up with the earlier Puerto Ricans...and the older Irish in their neighborhoods) started bringing their knives out to the parks and driving away the thugs.

The ruling class always lives well in third world countries. They are fine with it, as long as they stay on top.
Enough talk about the problem from the CDC, are they working on a cure?!
