Summary
The authors of this study combined race‐geographical combinations of the US population known as the “Eight Americas” from National Vital Statistics and US Census data to statistically examine whether social environment attenuates racial disparities in Systemic lupus erythematosus‐related mortality. The authors concluded that the average annual mortality rates were highest among blacks in three race‐geographical contexts: average‐income blacks, southern low‐income blacks, and high‐risk urban blacks and lowest among nonblacks living in average‐income settings. The authors findings suggest that race may transcend SES and geographical parameters as a key determinant of SLE‐related mortality.
