NH indicates non-Hispanic. Ellipses (…) indicate data not available.
Mortality data for the white, black, Asian or Pacific Islander, and American Indian or Alaska Native populations include deaths of people of Hispanic and non-Hispanic origin. Numbers of deaths for the American Indian or Alaska Native and Asian or Pacific Islander populations are known to be underestimated.
These percentages represent the portion of total stroke incidence or mortality that applies to males vs females.
Estimates include Hispanics and non-Hispanics. Estimates for whites include other nonblack races.
National Health Interview Survey (2012), National Center for Health Statistics; data are weighted percentages for Americans ≥18 y of age.218
Includes Chinese, Filipino, Hawaiian, Japanese, and other Asian or Pacific Islander.
Estimate considered unreliable or does not meet standards of reliability or precision.
Sources: Prevalence: National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2007 to 2010, National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) and National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI). Percentages for racial/ethnic groups are age adjusted for Americans ≥20 y of age. Age-specific percentages are extrapolated to the 2010 US population. Incidence: Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Stroke Study/National Institutes of Neurological Disorders and Stroke data for 1999 provided on August 1, 2007. US estimates compiled by NHLBI. See also Kissela et al.219 Data include children. Mortality: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention/NCHS, 2010 Mortality Multiple Cause-of-Death–United States, version dated May 21, 2013. These data represent underlying cause of death only. Mortality data for white and black males and females include Hispanics. Hospital discharges: National Hospital Discharge Survey, NCHS. Data include those inpatients discharged alive, dead, or status unknown. Cost: NHLBI. Data include estimated direct and indirect costs for 2010.
