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 BP.
