In
a study recently published in the journal Stroke, investigators in the
REasons for Geographical And Racial Differences in Stroke Study, or
REGARDS, found that blacks are four times more likely to die of stroke
at age 45 than their white counterparts because blacks have more
strokes, not because blacks who have a stroke are more likely to die
than whites who have a stroke. Important insights from the study and
risk factors that lead to stroke indicate changes that are needed in
Americans’ health habits and in primary health care to reduce the excess
number of deaths from stroke in the black population. “Since the
driving force of the racial difference in stroke deaths is the larger
number of strokes in blacks, to reduce this disparity we have to focus
on factors prior to the stroke’s ever happening,” said George Howard,
Dr.P.H., lead author and professor of biostatistics at the University of
Alabama at BirminghamSchool of Public Health. “We need to do more to
focus on prevention and control of risk factors before they result in a
stroke. While it is important to ensure that blacks and whites receive
the same care once a stroke happens, any differences in care once the
stroke happens do not appear to be the reason that blacks die more from
stroke.”
