Description
Moises Sandoval and co-authors count healthy years by ethnic group in Chile in a 2023 paper. Gaps in life span by wealth and sex are well known in Chile. Whether the Mapuche, the top native group, live shorter healthy lives was not known.
Death tables and health survey rates were joined by a standard method. At age sixty, Mapuche life span ran seven years short of non Mapuche peers. The share of years free of disability was far lower for Mapuche at each age. Most of a Mapuche late life is lived with disability in the counts. The first such map names a stark health gap.
