TB Case Rates by Age Group and Race/Ethnicity
United States, 2004

Slide 10. TB Case Rates by Age Group and Race/Ethnicity,
United States,
2004. This slide presents TB rates in 2004 by age group and
race/ethnicity. Risk increased with age across racial and ethnic
groups, and rates were consistently higher in minority racial and
ethnic groups than in non-Hispanic whites. Rates were the highest
in Asians and in Native Hawaiians and Other Pacific Islanders, particularly
in adult age groups. The impact of foreign birth is a consideration
in interpreting rate variations by race/ethnicity. For example,
95% of cases in the Asian group occurred in foreign-born persons,
compared with 74% of cases in Hispanics and 27% of cases in non-Hispanic
black or African Americans. Persons reporting two or more races
totaled less than 1% of all cases. |
