The age-by-race gap in health and mortality in the older population: a social science research agenda

RC Gibson
University of Michigan, Ann Arbor 48109-1285.

This article describes the unusual phenomena; proposes a systematic research program to explain them; and discusses existing data sets for their analysis.
