Black people have a higher risk of colorectal cancer than white people, but this risk is likely not due to genetics. Data from a recent study by researchers from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Regenstrief Institute and Indiana University School of Medicine adds more data to the existing evidence. The next step is determining what is behind this increased risk, said lead author Thomas Imperiale, M.D., Regenstrief Institute research scientist, VA investigator and professor of gastroenterology and hepatology at IU School of Medicine. Lifestyle and healthcare-related behaviors may explain some of the difference.

It is a well-established fact that multiple factors (e.g., family history/genetics, clinical care, socioeconomics, lifestyle) contribute to the prevalence and outcomes of cardiovascular disease. Today, accruing evidence suggests that a strong relationship also exists between economic indicators (e.g., wealth, prosperity, employment) and cardiovascular disease outcomes.
Large-scale population studies indicate that improvements in local economic prosperity are associated with relative decreases in cardiovascular mortality rates, ischemic heart disease mortality rates, and all-cause mortality rates regardless of race, ethnicity, or gender. Moreover, the evidence suggests that living in more prosperous areas is associated with generally higher quality of healthcare (including greater receipt of recommended services), lower hospital admission and mortality rates, and lower per-capita healthcare expenditures (including end-of-life care costs).
