Abstract

From 1999 to 2020, disparities in all-cause age-adjusted mortality rates between Black and White Non-Hispanic Americans decreased then stagnated and increased. Consistent improvement in racial disparities were made for cancer, HIV, and sepsis regardless of all-cause trends. In contrast, conditions like heart disease and external causes of death mirrored the overall trends.
