Hispanic paradox

The Hispanic Paradox is a term used to describe the observation that Latino or Hispanic people in the United States often have better health than people of other backgrounds. This means that despite the fact that Latinos or Hispanics sometimes have lower-paying jobs or are not as educated as other people, they are still often healthier and live longer than other people. Scientists aren't exactly sure why this is, but they think it might have to do with the importance of family and close relationships in Hispanic or Latino cultures, which provide support and well-being to those communities.
