This study described relations between socioeconomic factors and race/ethnicity as risk factors for asthma mortality.
A cross-sectional study was conducted of US mortality records from 1991 through 1996.
Higher standardized mortality ratios were seen for Blacks vs Whites (3.34 vs 0.65), low vs high educational level (1.51 vs 0.69), and low vs high income (1.46 vs 0.71). Excess mortality for Blacks vs Whites was present in the highest and lowest quintiles of median county income and educational level. The disparity in asthma mortality rates according to median county income and education remained after control for race/ethnicity.
Black race/ethnicity appears to be associated, independently from low income and low education, with an elevated risk for asthma mortality.
本研究描述了社会经济因素与种族/族裔作为哮喘死亡率风险因素之间的关系。
对1991年至1996年美国死亡率记录进行了横断面研究。
黑人与白人相比标准化死亡率更高（3.34对0.65），低教育水平与高教育水平相比（1.51对0.69），低收入与高收入相比（1.46对0.71）。在县收入中位数和教育水平的最高和最低五分位数中，黑人与白人相比存在超额死亡率。在控制种族/族裔后，根据县收入中位数和教育程度的哮喘死亡率差异仍然存在。
黑人种族/族裔似乎与低收入和低教育程度无关，与哮喘死亡率升高风险相关。
