Coronary heart disease and stroke death rates were compared for six ethnic groups (non-Hispanic white, Hispanic, African-American, Chinese, Japanese, and Asian Indian) by sex and age (25 to 44, 45 to 64, 65 to 84, and 25 to 84 years old) using California census and 1985 to 1990 death data. African-American men and women in all age groups had the highest rates of death from coronary heart disease, stroke, and all causes (except for coronary heart disease in the oldest men). Hispanics, Chinese, and Japanese in all age-sex groups had comparatively low death rates for coronary heart disease and stroke, although stroke was proportionally an important cause of death for Chinese and Japanese groups. Coronary heart disease was an important cause of death for Asian Indians although death rates were generally not higher than those for other ethnic groups. Ethnic differences were most marked for women and younger age groups.
利用加利福尼亚人口普查数据以及1985年至1990年的死亡数据，按性别和年龄（25至44岁、45至64岁、65至84岁以及25至84岁）对六个种族群体（非西班牙裔白人、西班牙裔、非裔美国人、华裔、日裔和印裔亚洲人）的冠心病和中风死亡率进行了比较。各年龄组的非裔美国男性和女性因冠心病、中风和所有病因导致的死亡率最高（年龄最大的男性因冠心病导致的死亡率除外）。所有年龄 - 性别组中的西班牙裔、华裔和日裔因冠心病和中风导致的死亡率相对较低，不过中风对华裔和日裔群体而言在死亡原因中所占比例较高。冠心病是印裔亚洲人死亡的一个重要原因，尽管其死亡率总体上不高于其他种族群体。种族差异在女性和较年轻年龄组中最为明显。
