New study (w/ Hui Zheng) finds that among US-born older adults, Asian Americans are no longer the healthiest racial group.
This is because disability prevalence has declined for *every other racial group* since 2005, but not for Asian Americans.

Totally agree with this. Flying a person to a third country that they may never have been to, directly into a prison where they are going to be forced to do hard labor, is not a deportation; it's something else entirely.
@washingtonpost.com They were not DEPORTED. Deported means sending them back to their country of origin. These people were sent to a maximum security prison in El Salvador, without any due process or any analysis as to whether they feared harm in El Salvador!
In America, EVERYONE has a RIGHT to due process - regardless of immigration status. It’s fundamental to our Constitution.
Deporting hundreds of people in secret by invoking a wartime proclamation is a blatant abuse of power by President Trump.

Does anyone have recommended readings to understand how causes of death are attributed, coded, and/or analyzed? Bonus points for e.g., medical sociological/anthropological takes into these practices. Thanks in advance.

I'm going to use my first (bluesie? blueskysie?) wisely. This feels like moving into a new place that is sparsely furnished. Maybe I'll be opening a bottle of prosecco later and toast to new beginnings.
