SES and Race

African Americans and multiple other minorities have lower levels of education, income, professional status, and wealth than whites. These racial differences in SES are the major reason for racial differences in health.
Education and income are generally more strongly associated with health status than race.
Racial differences in health status decrease substantially when racial groups are compared at similar levels of SES.
