Figure 3

Individual patients as a function of their age and ethnicity are shown. The black line indicates average age. In (A), in patients with alcoholic cirrhosis, it was 53.5 ± 10.0 for African Americans (n=218); 49.8 ± 10.7 for Hispanics (n=291); 51.3 ± 9.3 for Whites (n=374) (there were differences in age between African Americans and either Hispanics (p<0.001) or Whites (p=0.001)). In (B), in patients with NASH, NAFLD, or cryptogenic cirrhosis, average age was 61.4 ± 13.0 for African Americans (n=24); 61.1 ± 13.0 for Hispanics (n=83); 58.4 ± 12.2 for Whites (n=54). In (C), in patients with HCV cirrhosis, average age was 51.5 ± 8.1 for African Americans (n=246); 48.7 ± 9.5 for Hispanics (n=145); 49.1 ± 8.0 for Whites (n=292) (there were differences in age between African Americans compared to Hispanics (p=0.003) or Whites (p<0.001)).
