Figure.. Cardiovascular Disease Mortality Disparities Among Black and White Adults
Figure displays the rate ratios (gray solid bars) comparing the age-standardized cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality rates among non-Hispanic Black adults (black solid line) to non-Hispanic White adults (black dotted line) aged ≥35 years from 2010 to 2022. 95% confidence intervals are displayed for the rate ratios but not for the rates as they are too precise to be visible at this scale. Mortality data for 2022 are provisional estimates.
