A Commentary on the Epidemiologic Paradox | Chapter 14 | Research Developments in Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 7

 The purpose concerning this paper is to explore the use of the term “epidemiologic contradiction”. A review of the literature told that the term specifically refers to Hispanic or Latino Americans health effects. Several different differences of the terms (epidemiologic paradox and Hispanic contradiction) used to describe the puzzle, are presented.  Research in exploring the contradiction has been restricted by a lack of vital statistics on a national support, data restricted to localized regions to a degree cities, counties and the lack of Hispanic identifiers.  The paradox has covered environments such has youth cancers, low birth pressure, pregnancy consequences, and mortality rates. It even covered the spoken health rank (OHSI) of Latino immigrants and native born Latinos. Researchers in overseas countries have begun exploring the paradox on various ethnic groups. The epidemiologic puzzle still exists.
