I chose this topic because I am interested in the health differences and similarities between different ethnic groups. Minorities, primarly African American and Hispanic are at high risk for certain health problems. Health disparitites among ethnic groups are rising in the United States. Information and education about these health concerns can be useful to those interested in the topic and also health professionals.
The following are the top leading causes of death for different race and ethnic groups in the U.S According to the CDC's Office of Minority Health and Health Disparities (OMHD).
African American population- Heart disease
Hispanic/ Latino - Heart disease
Asian American- Cancer
