Absolute Event Rate: 48.9% vs 37.5%
p-value: p=<0.05

Pacy et al. (1985) conducted a cross-sectional in Diabetes. Black ethnicity vs. White and Asian ethnicity was evaluated on Prevalence of hypertension (p=<0.05). Black diabetic patients under 65 years of age had a higher prevalence of hypertension (48.9%) compared to White (37.5%) and Asian (35.4%) patients (p<0.05).
