Among men, age-adjusted total per 100,000 person-years 3,089 in 2,466 women, it 1,897 1,581 respectively. Hispanic/white rate ratio for 0.77 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.64 0.93) 0.82 CI 0.66 1.01) men 0.79 0.68 0.91) 0.80 0.69 0.94), respectively, diseases. Given lower all-cause proportion deaths due CVD similar between two populations same gender were, 29.7% 44.7% white 28.1% 44.3% Hispanic 24.9% 43.2% women 24.1% 41% women. Conclusions.
