Cardiometabolic deaths in premenopausal black and white women.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Black women in the United States bear a disproportionate burden of cardiometabolic disease (CMD) beginning in adolescence, while CMD mortality is often thought to emerge at menopause. This study estimates and compares CMD mortality risks in Black and White women aged 25-44 years.

Methods

Using National Vital Statistics System data and life table methods, we estimated CMD mortality risk in hypothetical cohorts of non-Hispanic Black and White women aged 25-44, with cohort sizes matched to the 2022 U.S. population. We estimated cumulative risk and quantified excess mortality, proportional mortality, and years of life lost (YLL).

Results

The cumulative CMD mortality was 0.90 % (95 % CI: 0.86 % to 0.93 %) for Black women and 0.33 % (95 % CI: 0.32 % to 0.34 %) fo
