不是住院,华人住院比例不是最高。
paper说歧视可能是原因,不好猜,反正数据上测试确诊新冠得华人死得多。
Our finding that Chinese Americans had the highest mortality rate of all racial/ethnic groups and were nearly 1.5 more times likely to die than Whites (OR 1.44, 95% CI [1.04, 2.01]) is concerning. This elevated burden was revealed only when the overall Asian race category was disaggregated into ethnic subgroups, as the overall Asian race group did not have a significantly higher likelihood of death than Whites (OR 1.15, 95% CI [0.93, 1.43], p=0.21). Since the emergence of COVID-19 in early 2020, Chinese and other Asian Americans have experienced increased xenophobia, discrimination, and harassment: one quarter of Asian New Yorkers surveyed reported witnessing or experiencing harassment, violence, or racism related to COVID-19, and more than half of Chinese American adults and their children across the U.S. reported being targeted by COVID-19 related racial discrimination either in person or online, which was associated with poorer mental health.

36 Furthermore, this increase in harassment and racism may be leading to reluctance to and/or fear of leaving one’s home for care or testing, which may be exacerbating Chinese patients’ known reluctance to seek timely care, thereby leading to more severe illness that may be more difficult to treat successfully.

37 Additionally, treatment patterns may have been influenced by early data on worse outcomes among Blacks and Hispanics and the “model minority” myth that Asians are typically healthier than other racial groups.
38 Our findings underscore the urgency of additional research into the factors leading to higher mortality among Chinese Americans.

Asian Americans, especially those of South Asian and Chinese descent, have several key clinical risk factors in common with Blacks and Hispanics. Asians experience overweight and obesity at lower BMI values than individuals of other racial groups, resulting in a higher prevalence of these conditions than expected.
21 Additionally, South Asians have high rates of diabetes and hypertension that are comparable to those observed among Black and Hispanic individuals, and they have a disproportionate burden of morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular disease. These factors are known to put individuals at elevated risk of COVID-19 infection, hospitalization, and death, and they are highly prevalent among many Asian Americans.
