Can Survival Bias Explain the Age Attenuation of Racial Inequalities in Stroke Incidence?
Abstract
Background: In middle age, stroke incidence is higher among black than white Americans. For unknown reasons, this inequality decreases and reverses with age. We conducted simulations to evaluate whether selective survival could account for observed age patterning of black–white stroke inequalities. Methods: We simulated birth cohorts of 20,000 blacks and 20,000 whites with survival distributions based on US life tables for the 1919–1921 birth...
