Racial disparities in health persist for African Americans, impacting oral and systemic conditions. This review examines cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, and related social factors.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Health Disparities
  • Oral Health

Background:

  • Published research highlights persistent racial and ethnic health disparities, especially for African Americans, affecting both oral and systemic health.
  • Biologically plausible links between oral and systemic diseases exist, though causality is not definitively established.
  • Anecdotal evidence suggests compounding adverse effects between oral and systemic conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize key information on cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and cancer in relation to oral and systemic health.
  • To explore the social and behavioral factors influencing these health disparities.
  • To contextualize these health issues within the historical efforts of African American health professionals to combat discrimination.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review and synthesis of existing research.
  • Analysis of data from reports such as the 1985 Secretary's Task Force Report.
  • Summary of salient information on specific diseases and social/behavioral factors.

Main Results:

  • Cardiovascular disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes, cirrhosis, homicide, accidents, infant mortality, and HIV/AIDS are identified as leading causes of excess deaths among African Americans.
  • Social and behavioral factors significantly influence oral and systemic health outcomes.
  • Collaborative efforts among African American health professionals have historically aimed to improve patient care and address systemic inequities.

Conclusions:

  • Addressing racial and ethnic disparities in oral and systemic health requires a comprehensive approach.
  • Understanding the interplay of social, behavioral, and biological factors is crucial for improving health outcomes.
  • Continued efforts are needed to combat discrimination and ensure equitable healthcare access and quality for African American populations.
