背景和目的虽然美国黑人的脑卒中死亡率高于白人，但对西班牙裔白色人群的脑卒中负担却知之甚少。本报告将提供估计的相对负担，中风死亡率在美国黑人和西班牙裔人口相对于白色人口，并检查这种关系的一致性，跨age.Methods数据来自参与者年龄>45岁的国家纵向死亡率研究。在239734名非西班牙裔白人中有1844人死于中风，在12527名西班牙裔白人中有46人死亡，在23468名黑人参与者中有234人死亡。结果黑人男性和女性（相对于非西班牙裔白人）的风险比几乎相同，在45岁时>4.0，
Background and Purpose Although US blacks are known to have an excess stroke mortality compared with US whites, little is known about the stroke burden of the Hispanic white population. This report will provide estimates of the relative burden of stroke mortality in the US black and Hispanic population relative to the white population and examine the consistency of this relation across age.Methods Data were from participants aged >45 years from the National Longitudinal Mortality Study. There were 1844 stroke deaths among 239 734 non-Hispanic whites, 46 deaths among 12 527 Hispanic whites, and 234 deaths among 23 468 black participants. Standard statistical methods were used to examine the ethnic differences in stroke mortality.Results The hazard ratios for black men and women (relative to non-Hispanic whites) were nearly identical, at >4.0 at age 45 but marginally
