African American Health Factsheet


[PDF, 3 MB, 4 Pages]

African Americans are living longer. The death rate for African Americans has declined about 25% over 17 years, primarily for those aged 65 years and older. Even with these improvements, new analysis shows that younger African Americans are living with or dying of many conditions typically found in white Americans at older ages. The difference shows up in African Americans in their 20s, 30s, and 40s for diseases and causes of death. When diseases start early, they can lead to death earlier.

Key points include:

  • The death rate for African Americans decreased 25% from 1999 to 2015.

  • African Americans ages 18-49 are 2 times as likely to die from heart disease than whites.

  • African Americans ages 35-64 years are 50% more likely to have high blood pressure than whites.
