| Annotation | The double jeopardy hypothesis states that there is evidence that ethnic minorities (especially African Americans) have a greater health differential relative to Whites at older ages than at younger ages. Thus, the health hazards of old age are magnified by disadvantages of being Black. This article examines the history of the hypothesis in health research, and assesses the critique of the hypothesis to date, focusing exclusively on the hypothesis as it relates to health outcomes.
