Hispanics, Blacks At Higher Risk Of Strokes

Well obviously the author's ex-girlfriend is dating a black guy.

Science has PROVEN, that there are no differentiations among humans, other than cosmetic features, like our skin color etc.
Maybe these higher stroke rates are due to what they do/eatlive etc and in-directly make the stroke rate high?

That's actually false. Genetic disorders vary in frequency amongst various races as well.

Hey OT you've got to look at the socio-economics of it all.

Specifcally speaking: Do people living near (250%)or below the poverty line have less access to healthcare and are more likely tohave unhealthy habits? Simple answer is yes.

Now what are some demographics surrounding this? 8.6% of all European Americans, 11.8% of all Asian Americans, 23.2% of all Hispanics (of any nationality), 24.2% of all American Indians and Alaska Natives, 24.7% of all African Americans.

The poorer you are the more susceptable to these ailments you are. Nearly a quarter of all Latinos and Blacks in the US are below the poverty line.

It's not rocket science.

its all about what we eat. i get up 4am in the morning everyday because im pact full wit beans. hispanics are also big fans of pork so u kno thats not healthy. black people love chicken and that cant be good for the health tho every race is distracted by fast food. white people probably eat healthier than anyone. what do u white people eat anyway? corn potatos and stake? i grew up eating hispanic food and its never been healthy lolplaymynutz

What is it like living under a rock?

various groups are more likely to get disorders and diseases.. nothing newweezyfb

Unless you are speaking economically, that's untrue man. If you removed the impoverished people from the equation, life expectancy and quality of life (healthy-ness) shoot up. The disparities between socio-economic classes is what makes the TC's statement correct.

They differ, because of their experiences, different "races" go through. where they live, what they do, what they eat, etc.
White people on average, tend to be wealthier, than the mentioned "races", with wealth, comes a more comfortable life, better quality food, less stress etc, this may come as a surprise to you, but.........that helps reduce strokes :@, :roll:

That variability in disorders is not tied to race but to regions. There are many more mosquitoes in certain parts of Africa than in others and therefore, due to natural selection, locations that have higher mosquito and by extension malaria counts also have higher occurrences of heterogeneity and recessive homogeneity for the sickle cell anemia gene.

I have sickle cell trait. There are explanations for specific groups to be considered high risk for disorders like this. Those who have Sickle Cell Anemia or just carry the trait like me are immune toMalaria, a disease that was typical in places where my ancestors lived. Malaria is can be pretty deadly, so people who had sickle cell or the trait were more likely to survive.

I'm pretty sure there are other similar situations when it comes to certain groups being "high risk".

Uhhh...yes. Blacks are more likely to get sickle-cell anemia. Whites are more likely to be born with Crohn's Disease. There are plenty more. Genetic diseases have nothing to with your socioeconoimic status...

Maybe its because they eat so much chicken...:P I kid.

I have to agree, if its a fake post it is a work of pure genius, if its a real post I fear for the future of humanity.

Just mins before I started this thread, I read this in the newspaper( Chicago Sun-Times) Here are some hightlights from the article. " African Americans, for instance, have high rates of hypertension, diabetes and obesity, while Hispanics have a prevalence of metabolic syndrome and diabetes compared to whites" .PSP107

And? I fail to see the problem.

If you want some sort of "equilibrium" fine: Caucasians have higher risk of developing testicle cancer. Happy?

If you said that in my pathophysiology class you'd have been failed immediately. It's a very well documented fact that risks for certain diseases vary with race. This has nothing to do with racism or socio-economics, it's all about genetics. The very fact that the "looks" differ between races should be proof enough that genetics are very variable between races.

My dad had a stroke a few months ago.:(

That's actually false. Genetic disorders vary in frequency amongst various races as well.

Not to mention, brain sizes, cell numbers, brain structure, sense of smell, color differentiation, differing pain receptors, different blood pressures, different levels of certain hormones, different blood cells, different lifespans. That's with sexes... Let's not get into the obvious, reproductive systems, sexual organs, skin thickness, body hair, muscle mass, bone density and strength etc...

Race is too much of a touchy subject for scientists to get into, so it's publicly blacklisted (see James Watson).

Genetic disorders, intelligence and most of that is largely due to environment. Problem is the environment also affects the children before they're even born, evolutionary process takes awhile to hit some. Skin color doesn't really matter, there's a correlation, yeah, but it's not like there's some pokemon evolution where the whole body takes a a dramatic change.

I thought it was common knowledge that african-americans/blacks were at a higher risk for heart disease than other races...

Why? There's a bunch of diseases that are more common in Caucasians. Most skin conditions for example and some cancer types.

Race is too much of a touchy subject for scientists to get into, so it's publicly blacklisted (see James Watson).JustusCF

I'm taking a pharmacy degree and we study diseases (obviously) and we talk about how some conditions are more common in certain races all the time. Scientists don't give a crap about race issues because they are discussing facts and no amount of bickering from overly touchy people can change facts. Blacks and Hispanics are more inclined to have strokes. FACT. Deal with it.

Racism at its best.conistant

How is it racism? Regardless of what PC society wants to believe, races aren't exactly identical. Some diseases and disorders have a much higher occurance in certain races than in others.

It's not racism, it's just how it works.

Could you explain Sickle Cell Anemia, then?

and white people are more at risks at getting skin cancer, who cares and also everybody loves fried chicken, its effin deliciious.

Not on the health field which is the field I study and that we are discussing. Professors sometimes ask these things (which race gets more this and more that) in tests. It's very important to take everything into consideration when you're trying to save people's lives. Not giving special attention to a person of a risk group because that risk group happens to be a race is stupid.

I'm not very familiar with those intelligence studies, but from what I gathered the difference was minimal and asians got the best results anyway. Is intelligence, given the difference was minimal it's very likely that socio-economics could play a very important part.

Well I think Hispanics, and Blacks generally earn less meaning they don't have access to good food/ exercise.

I think its just due to envornmental factors. Blacks/Hispanics are more likely to become obese, so they may be more likely to get these things. I don't think its because of DNA, gens and all that other fancy stuff.

And they would have been wrong to the very end.

If you have access to Healthcare and better quality food and aren't engaged in backbreaking labor everyday your body is likely to have greater longevity.

I still hold my position that those ofhigher socio-economic standing stand a better chance of not being affected by these diseases and living longer.

Then how do you explain that whites are more likely to get skin and testicle cancer? Or cystic fibrosis?

I knew race was a really touchy subject in the US more than other places but this is bordering on the insanity. You cannot deny that different races have different genetic makeups and, subsequently, higher risk than others for certain diseases. That's simply not true and you're denying a FACT just because race is involved. That's an approach that health professionals quite simply cannot follow or they would be putting lives on the line for stupid reasons.

You can deny it all you want you won't change a thing. Sorry.

Anything in the news that's percieved negative to minorites is automatically racism. Why?
