Disparities in life expectancy of pacific northwest american indians and alaska natives: analysis of linkage-corrected life tables.

CONCLUSION: Data linkage with a registry of known AI/ANs allowed us to generate accurate life tables that had not previously been available for this population and revealed disparities in both life expectancy at birth and survival across the life span. These results represent an important tool to help AI/AN communities as they monitor their health and promote efforts to eliminate health disparities. PMID: 25552757 [PubMed - in process]
