Hispanic paradox
The Hispanic paradox is an epidemiological finding that Hispanic Americans tend to have health outcomes that paradoxically are comparable to, or in some cases better than, those of their U.S. non-Hispanic White counterparts, even though Hispanics have lower average income and education, higher rates of disability, as well as a higher incidence of various cardiovascular risk factors and metabolic diseases. Low socioeconomic status is almost universally associated with worse population health and higher death rates everywhere in the world.
