Diabetes Mortality Disparity Ratio between African American adults and White adults in Buncombe
Current Value
3.3
Definition
Data Description & Source
Description: Ratio of African American diabetes mortality compared to White diabetes mortality (the higher the number, the wider the disparity between the two groups).
Example: (2010) rate (age adjusted per 100,000) of African American diabetes mortality = 29.4 and White diabetes mortality = 11.3
Calculate ratio by dividing African American diabetes prevalence by White diabetes prevalence ( 29.4/11.3 = 2.6). Meaning African Americans with diabetes die from the disease at 2.6 times the rate of White residents with diabetes.
