New research in the Journal of the American Heart Association shows that people who are exposed to burning wood, metals and pesticides are most likely Latinx.
A new study found that pregnant Latinx and Black women in poor neighborhoods were two and three times more likely to face life-threatening childbirth than women in richer ones.
Conversely, the American Heart Association found that African Americans and people from the Caribbean have the highest risk for heart attacks and strokes.
Says lead author Eduardo Tarazona-Santos: “During the last 500 years, in the Americas, people of different African origins and from different populations have admixed more in the Americas than in Africa.”
