Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a leading cause of death for people of most ethnicities in the USA. However, several racial and ethnic minority groups are disproportionately burdened by CHD and experience higher mortality rates and rehospitalization rates compared with whites. Contemporary CHD research has been dedicated in part to broadening our understanding of the root causes of racial and ethnic disparities in CHD outcomes. Several factors contribute, including socioeconomic and comorbid conditions. These factors may be amenable to change, and targets for initiatives to reduce disparities and improve CHD outcomes. In this article, we review the recently published research related to the distribution and determinants of racial and ethnic differences in CHD outcomes in the USA.

Racial Disparities in Cardiometabolic Disorders Among Alzheimer's Disease Patients: A Study on Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders.
Cureus
December 2024
Department of Neurology, Hawaii Pacific Neuroscience, Honolulu, USA.
Background: Cardiometabolic disorders may accelerate the progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD), potentially impacting ethnic-racial groups with a higher prevalence of diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease, though limited data exists on Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders (NHPI) populations.
Objective: This study aims to examine the prevalence of diabetes and associated comorbidities among AD patients from different ethnic-racial groups - Asians, Whites, and NHPIs - in Hawaii, with a focus on identifying risk factors linked to AD.
Method: A retrospective review was conducted on AD patient records from a single center in Hawaii, spanning June 2018 to June 2024.

Front Nutr
January 2025
Department of Immunology, Mianyang Central Hospital, School of Medicine, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC), Mianyang, Sichuan, China.
Purpose: We aim to ascertain the extent to which the blood urea nitrogen (BUN) to serum albumin (ALB) ratio (BAR) could be implemented to anticipate the short- and long-term prognosis of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients in intensive care units (ICUs).
Methods: The data was derived from the Marketplace for Intensive Care Medical Information-IV (MIMIC-IV v3.0) database, primarily pertaining to AIS patients as categorized by the International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-9 and ICD-10.
Racial and sexual differences of eyebrow and eyelid morphology: three-dimensional analysis in young Caucasian and Chinese populations.
Quant Imaging Med Surg
January 2025
Department of Ophthalmology, University of Cologne, Faculty of Medicine and University Hospital of Cologne, Cologne, Germany.
Background: With globalization, oculoplastic surgeons must understand the intricate morphological nuances of the periocular region across ethnicities to ensure precise treatment and avoid facial disharmony or dysfunction. Direct comparisons in two-dimensional (2D)-based periocular morphology between studies can be challenging due to the limited number of parameters and complicated variations in equipment, environments, measurement personnel, and methods. Therefore, it is imperative to explore the detailed three-dimensional (3D) periocular morphological disparities between young Caucasian and Chinese populations.
