Study Shows 8,000 Black Americans Die Each Year due to Racial Disparities in Blood Pressure Control

ATLANTA —  The lives of nearly 8,000 black Americans could be saved each year if doctors could figure out a way to bring their average blood pressure down to the average level of whites, a surprising new study found.

The gap between the races in controlling blood pressure is well-known, but the resulting number of lives lost startled some scientists.

"We expected it to be big, but it was even larger than we anticipated," said the lead author, Dr. Kevin Fiscella of the University of Rochester School of Medicine & Dentistry.

The study, released Monday in the Annals of Family Medicine, is being called the first to calculate the lives lost due to racial disparities in blood pressure control.

Fiscella said he believes steps can be taken to erase that gap. But a second article in the same journal found that racial differences in blood pressure treatment persisted in England despite a national health system that provides equal access to care.

High blood pressure is racist.  Who knew?  Maybe Presdent-elect Barry can "change" this.

Science has found a cure!

I plan to take advantage of this monumentous scientific breakthrough.   :p

Black americans can correct this disparity by getting up off of their asses and working out and cutting out the greasy, shitty food some of them eat. Olive oil too. I know that's 'white people food', but since diseases don't really give a crap how much melanin you have, who cares who traditionally used it? I'm not Italian either(I don't think) but olive oil works great for cooking and is better for you.

Well, all that  worked for me and no affirmative action via the welfare state was necessary. Imagine that.  :popcorn:

Doctors may not be providing proper care, but some black patients may not be taking prescribed medicines or following medical advice, said Christopher Millett of the Imperial College of London.

However, another researcher said it is unfair to blame the patient.

"'Compliance' to me is a hateful word. It says, 'I the great doctor and we the great health care service inform you what needs to be done and you don't do it because you're stupid, you're incompetent'... I don't accept that at all," said Dr. Jeremiah Stamler, professor emeritus of preventive medicine at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine.

Wha???

Doctor:   Take this medicine daily, and follow this diet I just outlined for you with addition to exercise, and that should control you bp issues.

Patient:  No.   Racist.

PC Medical Community:   Doctor has failed this patient. We can do better.


Are they kidding me right now?????

Over 500,000 at last count.  Planned Parenthood is the most racist organization out there.

Uh.......is that the reason she wanted to kill babies? Was there a way back then to know if your child was going to develop Sickle Cell? If so, I am certainly not aware of it. Wouldn't it take DNA results, which were not available until the late '90's?

Did she really publish THAT, as the reason she wanted to abort black children??????
