Local Increases in Coronary Heart Disease Mortality Among Blacks and Whites in the United States, 1985-1995.

Conclusions. From 1985 to 1995, moderate to strong local increases in Crib mortality were observed, predominantly in the southern United States. Black men evidenced the most unfavorable trends and were 25 times as likely as White men to be part of a local population experiencing increases in coronary heart disease mortality.
