OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to investigate associations between race and specific causes of mortality among adults 25 years and older in the National Longitudinal Mortality Study. METHODS: Mortality hazard ratios between races during 9 years of follow-up were estimated with Cox proportional hazards models, with control for multiple indicators of socioeconomic status (SES) and SES-relevant variables. RESULTS: Black persons younger than 65 years were at higher risk than others for all-cause and cardiovascular mortality; the strongest effects were observed among persons aged 25 through 44 years. CONCLUSIONS: Race, independent of SES, is related to mortality in American society, but these effects vary by age and disease categories.
