A study conducted by researchers from Stanford University examined the leading causes of death among Vietnamese Americans (VietAms) compared to aggregated Asian Americans and non-Hispanic Whites (NHWs) from 2005 to 2020. The study found that among foreign-born VietAms, the leading causes of death were cancer, heart disease, and cerebrovascular disease, while among native-born VietAms, the leading causes were accidents, self-harm, and cancer. VietAms had lower mortality rates compared to both aggregated Asians and NHWs, but these advantages have decreased over time. The study highlights the importance of disaggregating data by race in public health reporting. [Extracted from the article] |
