TB Case Rates by Age Group and Race/Ethnicity
United States, 2000
|
Slide 8: TB Case Rates by Age Group and Race/Ethnicity,
United States, 2000. This slide presents TB case rates in
2000 by age group and race/ethnicity. Risk increased with age across racial
and ethnic groups, and case rates were consistently higher in minority
racial and ethnic groups compared with non-Hispanic whites. Case rates
in Asians and Pacific Islanders were the highest, particularly in adult
age groups. The impact of birth outside the United States is a consideration
in interpreting rate variations by race/ethnicity. For example, approximately
95% of cases in the Asian/Pacific Islander group occurred in foreign-born
persons, compared with 70% of cases in Hispanics and 20% of cases in non-Hispanic
blacks. |
