Key result
Non-Hispanic Black adults had a significantly higher risk of all-cause mortality compared to Non-Hispanic White adults (HR 1.44), which was partly explained by socioeconomic and health-related factors.

Disparities in all-cause mortality among Non-Hispanic Black adults should not yet change practice; leaves open unmeasured determinants in US cohorts.
Cohort (n=16,573)
Does Non-Hispanic Black or Mexican-American race/ethnicity increase all-cause and cause-specific mortality in US adults compared to Non-Hispanic Whites?
Effect estimate: HR 1.44 (95% CI 1.31-1.58)
p-value: p=<0.001
Racial and ethnic disparities in all-cause and cardiovascular mortality are partly explained by socio-demographic, socioeconomic, health-related, and dietary factors, with variations by age, sex, and poverty strata.
Beydoun et al. (2016) conducted a cohort in All-cause and cause-specific mortality (n=16,573). Non-Hispanic Black race vs. Non-Hispanic White race was evaluated on All-cause mortality (adjusted for age, sex, and poverty income ratio) (HR 1.44, 95% CI 1.31-1.58, p=<0.001). Non-Hispanic Black adults had a significantly higher risk of all-cause mortality compared to Non-Hispanic White adults (HR 1.44), which was partly explained by socioeconomic and health-related factors.
