The purpose of this study was to investigate associations between race and specific causes of mortality among adults 25 years and older in the National Longitudinal Mortality Study.
Mortality hazard ratios between races during 9 years of follow-up were estimated with Cox proportional hazards models, with control for multiple indicators of socioeconomic status (SES) and SES-relevant variables.
Black persons younger than 65 years were at higher risk than others for all-cause and cardiovascular mortality; the strongest effects were observed among persons aged 25 through 44 years.
Race, independent of SES, is related to mortality in American society, but these effects vary by age and disease categories.
本研究旨在调查美国国家纵向死亡率研究中25岁及以上成年人的种族与特定死亡原因之间的关联。
使用Cox比例风险模型估计9年随访期间不同种族之间的死亡风险比，并对社会经济地位（SES）的多个指标和与SES相关的变量进行控制。
65岁以下的黑人全因死亡率和心血管死亡率高于其他种族；在25岁至44岁的人群中观察到的影响最为显著。
在美国社会中，种族独立于SES与死亡率相关，但这些影响因年龄和疾病类别而异。
