Ellipses (…) indicate data not available; and NH, non-Hispanic.
Mortality for Hispanic, American Indian or Alaska Native, and Asian and Pacific Islander people should be interpreted with caution because of inconsistencies in reporting Hispanic origin or race on the death certificate compared with censuses, surveys, and birth certificates. Studies have shown underreporting on death certificates of American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian and Pacific Islander, and Hispanic decedents, as well as undercounts of these groups in censuses.
These percentages represent the portion of total mortality attributable to peripheral artery disease that is for males vs females.
Includes Chinese, Filipino, Hawaiian, Japanese, and Other Asian or Pacific Islander.
