Additionally, African Americans with covid-19 die at a rate of 3-4x that of white people with covid-19. Both of these statistics are related to the high rate and risk of cardiovascular disease for African Americans. Due to disparities in education, income, housing, etc., African Americans have an increased risk of hypertension, diabetes, and obesity. Cardiovascular disease in women is often goes unrecognized and untreated. Researchers are hoping to collect data on specific demographic groups to better understand complications that may affect African American women versus white women in order to better-prevent and treat disease.
