Abstract:

Vital health issues among Hispanics vary by gender and by age group. Access to health care and inadequate or no health insurance are common to all, and are affected by low income and lack of transportation. Prenatal care is significant to women, while job injuries are important to men. Among children, immunization and nutrition rank high.
