Minority Health Issues

2003
Over the years, minorities have been diagnosed with more serious health issues during their middle age than the general population. Their life expectancy is seven years less than the average white male’s because minorities lack health insurance, disregard health care, and/or lack awareness. The cause of this begins in the early years of a minority male’s life. This site hopes to educate students about diseases and lifestyles contributing to a high and early mortality rate among African American and Hispanic males.
