8A NEWS/tElie Ctarlotte Thursday, May 6, 2004 Health dispariiies in N£. Continued from page 2A healthy, productive life.” Blacks fared worse than whites in 26 measurements of health, while Native Americans did worse in 19. Latinos fared worse than whites in 17 categories. Authors of the study specu late Latinos may have been healthier because of the rela tive youth of that population and “healthy migrant effect” where Hispanics who move here tend to be healthier. “Eliminating inequalities in health status improves the lives of not just a few, but of all North Carolinians,” Hooker Odom said. The report covered health behaviors and risk factors, including among adults and youth; causes of death; alco hol-related deaths; cancer and sexually-transmitted disease. Although the study points out health problems for pop ulations of color, it also dis closed some areas where racial minorities were better off than whites. Smoking — especially during pregnancy — was lower among African Americans, as were chronic lung disease and suicide death rates. Black high school students were much less likely to report they drank alcohol or smoked. On the Net: WWW. schs. state.nc. us/SCHS/pd f/RaceEthnicRpt. pdf.
