The big three are still heart disease, cancer and stroke, but then things get scattered around. Latinos and blacks are more likely to die of accidents, diabetes, AIDS and homicide than whites or Asians. Car accident deaths among young people are most highly concentrated in the southeast. Prostate cancer deaths are highest among black men along the south Atlantic coast, and for white men along the northern perimeter of the United States. The southeast has the highest rate of death from heart disease. Lung cancer deaths among white women are highest along the Pacific coast and the desert southwest. Most strokes occur along a belt from North Carolina to Mississippi. Call it different strokes for different folks.
