Abstract: Latinos are the fastest growing ethnic minority segment of the population in the USA, and by the year 2060, it has been estimated that this population will reach 111.22 million [ 1 ]. In 2019, it was estimated that 60.5 million persons in the USA identified as having Latino/Hispanic ethnicity [ 1 ]. Broadly, Latino and Hispanic refer to persons with origins or heritage from the Caribbean (Cuba, Puerto Rico, etc.), Mexico, Spain, and Central and/or South America, regardless of race, and the terms are used interchangeably [ 2 ]. The purpose of this editorial is to describe the historic and current landscape of the term Latinx and provide future directions for greater awareness and inclusivity of the term.
