State-level variations in racial disparities in life expectancy.

ABSTRACT: To explore state patterns in the racial life expectancy gap.The 1997-2004 Multiple Cause of Death PUF, 2000 U.S. Census.We calculated life expectancy at birth for black and white men and women.Data were obtained by the NCHS and U.S. Census Bureau.States with small racial differences are due to higher-than-expected life expectancy for blacks or lower-than-expected for whites. States with large disparity are explained by higher-than-average life expectancy among whites or lower-than-average life expectancy among blacks.Heterogeneous state patterns in racial disparity in life expectancy exist. Eliminating disparity in states with large black populations would make the greatest impact nationally.
