Non-Hispanic white women

Implications for Research. More research must be conducted on African American women in STEM fields in general, and chemistry in particular. Some extant research indicates that the profile for African American women in science careers is similar to that of non-Hispanic white women. For example, both African American and non-Hispanic white women in STEM careers attended an historically white college as an undergraduate. Future research should systematically examine the similarities and differences between African American women s STEM education and career pathways and those of African American males and non-Hispanic white women. [Pg.156]

Results for such an explosive combination of risk factors are predictable. Estimates point to about 30 percent of non-Hispanic American white men and 24 percent of non-Hispanic white women having cardiovascular disease (CVD). For non-Hispanic blacks, those numbers leap to 41 percent of men and 40 percent of women with cardiovascular disease. Mexican Americans have statistics somewhere in the middle about 29 percent of the men and 27 percent of the women have CVD. [Pg.37]

In 2004 in the United States, the fetal mortality rate at 20 weeks or more of gestation for non-Hispanic black women was 2.3 times the rate for non-Hispanic white women, while the rate for Hispanic women was only slightly more (10 percent more) than the rate for non-Hispanic white women.11... [Pg.268]

The prevalence of hypertension differs based on age, sex, and ethnicity. As individuals become older, their risk of high blood pressure increases. Individuals 55 years of age who do not have hypertension are estimated to have a lifetime risk of 90% of eventually developing hypertension. The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 1999 to 2000 indicated that hypertension is slightly more prevalent in men (30.1%) than women (27.1%). However, the prevalence increased by 5.6% in women and has remained unchanged in men from 1988 to 2000.5 Hypertension prevalence is highest in African-Americans when compared to non-Hispanic whites and Mexican-Americans.1... [Pg.10]

Anemia is a common condition, and the prevalence of anemia varies widely based on age, gender, race/ethnicity, and comorbid conditions. A study of anemia prevalence in a nationally representative sample of community-dwelling individuals describes how anemia differs across different populations.1 The prevalence of anemia in children (ages 1-16 years) was 6% to 9%, but the prevalence of anemia increases to approximately 11% in adults over age 65 years and to at least 20% in adults 85 years of age and older. Anemia is generally more common in women, particularly during their reproductive years (ages 17-49 years), when anemia occurs in over 12%, but in less than 2% of men. The same study showed that in the population over age 65, non-Hispanic whites and Mexican Americans had similar prevalence of anemia (9.0% and 10.4%, respectively), but with a prevalence of 27.8%, anemia was significantly more common in non-Hispanic blacks. [Pg.976]

The picture is even grimmer for adults. One-third of Hispanic and AAPI men in fair and poor health have not visited a doctor in the past year. Hispanic, African American, and AAPI women in fair or poor health are also less likely to have visited a physician than non-Hispanic white men (Henry J. Kaiser Foundation, 1999). [Pg.271]

Women exposed to air pollutants (as indicated by PM 2.5 and PM 10 levels) are at greater risk for developing cardiovascular diseases than men. This was demonstrated in a 22-year long cohort study of more than 3000 non-Hispanic white adults in California.I37l No explanation has been offered for the observed gender effect. [Pg.487]

In contrast, foreign-bom Mexican-American women of low socioeconomic status have a lower probability (6.3 percent) of low-birth-weight births than non-Hispanic whites (7 percent) and much lower than non-Hispanic blacks (13.6 percent).12... [Pg.268]

Since 1965, smoking has declined gradually by about 42%, but recent data indicate that this downward trend may have leveled off (8). In the United States, approximately 25.9 million men and 22.8 million women 18 years and older are smokers, about one in four in the adult population. Smoking rates are highest in adults with less than 9-11 years of education (39.7% of men, 34.3% of women), and lowest in those with 16 or more years of education (11.5% of men, 11.2% of women). Non-His-panic black men are marginally more likely to smoke than non-Hispanic white men (29% vs 24.7%). American Indians/Alaskan Natives are also more likely to be smokers (41.7% of men, 38.1% of women) (8). [Pg.44]

Certain residents of the western United States (white, non-Hispanic women predominantly with a median age of 48 years) were primarily afflicted.4 2024 Reports abroad also were documented. Germany ranked second in the number of cases of EMS (105 cases).25 As for the United States, all cases of EMS were associated with implicated L-tryptophan obtained from Showa Denko of Japan. [Pg.229]

The New Mexico Elder Health Survey was a study of health issues in subjects older than 65 years, divided equally between Hispanic and non-Hispanic men and women selected randomly from the Medicare rolls of the city of Albuquerque. A cross-sectional study of 825 persons found 12.8% already on thyroid medications, one-third of whom had elevated TSH levels. Another 15.4% had elevated TSH levels on screening. Figure 105.2 shows the distribution of TSH. Hispanic subjects had lower rates of hypothyroidism than whites, but this was significant only for women overall, women were almost three times more likely to be hypothyroid than men (Lindeman etal., 1999). [Pg.1031]
