TY - JOUR PY - 2004// TI - Death rates in England and Wales and the United States: variation with age, sex, and race JO - British medical journal: BMJ A1 - Jarman, Brian A1 - Aylin, Paul SP - 1367 EP - 1367 VL - 329 IS - 7479 N2 - The variation of health outcomes between ethnic groups is not easy to determine in the UK because ethnicity is not recorded on death certificates and is poorly recorded in hospital records. To better tackle health inequalities, more health data need to be categorised by ethnic group. Data on mortality by race are available for the United States. We compared mortality data for England and Wales with those for the United States and assessed their variation with race and age group.
