Understanding mortality differentials of Black adults in Canada

Articles and reports: 82-003-X202500400001
Description: Prior analyses using national population-based cohorts such as the Canadian Census Health and Environment Cohorts identified elevated mortality risks among Black adults, compared with White adults in Canada. These mortality risks, such as those from HIV/AIDS, prostate cancer, diabetes, cerebrovascular diseases, and various cancers, were differentially higher among Black adults despite accounting for social determinants of health. This study seeks to delve deeper in understanding the paths that contribute to the differential mortality patterns observed in the previous study, particularly for the outcomes that showed substantial increased risk for both Black males and females.
