Total 2010 US census race specific populations aged 45 to 64 (African Americans n=9 042 518, whites n=57 864 260) were used to calculate the population with prevalent CHD, stroke or HF excluded, respectively, using weighted prevalence proportions for history of CHD, stroke, and HF by above‐goal blood pressure.
