Native Americans, on average, die 12-13 years earlier than their white counterparts, with the largest disparities in the northern Great Plains and Rocky Mountain states. The disparity in age at death is in part due to Native Americans dying from diseases at younger ages than white Americans and higher levels of homicide. #NICHDImpact #RockyMountains #GreatPlains #Indigenous #NativeAmericans #Mortality #RacialDisparities

The US has seen growth in relative age-specific mortality gaps from infancy through midlife and exhibits greater concentrations of deaths from infancy through adulthood, resulting in much greater mortality variability. Further reductions in early and midlife mortality could diminish variability, reduce years of potential life lost, and increase life expectancy.

Estimates of mortality differences by body mass index (BMI) are likely biased by: (1) confounding bias from heterogeneity in body shape; (2) positive survival bias in high-BMI samples due to recent weight gain; and (3) negative survival bias in low-BMI samples due to recent weight loss. The mortality consequences of overweight and obesity have likely been underestimated, especially at older ages.

Black, Hispanic, and Asian adults aged <65 years were all more highly vaccinated than White populations of the same ages during most of Minnesota’s Delta and Omicron surges. However, White mortality rates were lower than those of all other groups.

Analysis shows that for every COVID-19 death, about 9 surviving Americans will lose a grandparent, parent, sibling, spouse, or child. If 190,000 Americans die from COVID-19, then ∼1.7 million will experience the death of a close relative.

Along with smoking, alcohol abuse, and lack of physical activity, research finds that the following factors also increase the risk of premature death among older adults: 1. recent financial difficulties, unemployment history, 2. childhood trauma, divorce history, and 3. negative outlook, poor self-esteem.

National COVID-19 death rates are 80% higher for Blacks and over 50% higher for Hispanics, relative to whites, based on CDC data adjusted for age and place. State estimates vary widely.

If you speak Hungarian or want to experiment with AI translation, there's a thorough report in one of Hungary's leading online newspapers covering our recent Cambridge Journal of Economics article on #deindustrialization and the postsocialist #mortality crisis. Beyond the premature loss of 7 million people in Eastern Europe, the lived experience of #shocktherapy continues to influence people's political preferences until today. @publichealth @sociology Happy to send pdf. https://444.hu/2023/07/20/miert-haltak-bele-magyarok-ezrei-a-rendszervaltasba

Eligibility for COVID-19 vaccines based solely on age benefit older white populations at the expense of younger Black, Indigenous, Hispanic populations with higher risk of death. Strategies that prioritize high-risk geographic areas for vaccination at all ages better target mortality risk than age-based strategies alone.
