NH indicates non-Hispanic. Ellipses (…) indicate data not available.
Mortality data for the white, black, Asian or Pacific Islander, and American Indian/Alaska Native populations include deaths of persons of Hispanic and non-Hispanic origin. Numbers of deaths for the American Indian/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 (2011), National Center for Health Statistics; data are weighted percentages for Americans >18 years of age.174
Includes Chinese, Filipino, Hawaiian, Japanese, and other Asian or Pacific Islander.
