CDC - Health Disparities in Cancer - Causes of Death Among American Indians and Alaska Natives



auses of Death Among American Indians and Alaska Natives

CDC's Division of Cancer Prevention and Control sponsored a supplemental issue of the American Journal of Public Health about the leading causes of death among American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) populations. The authors are experts from many different fields.
Death records and cancer incidence records were linked with Indian Health Service registration data to identify AI/AN people correctly, as they are often incorrectly reported as being members of other racial groups. Previous studies show that nearly 30% of people who identify themselves as AI/AN when living are classified as another race at the time of death. This linkage resulted in the most reliable data to date on causes of death among AI/AN people.
This linkage and analysis highlight several key findings. Overall, death rates are 50% higher among AI/AN people than non-Hispanic white people. Death rates have declined among non-Hispanic white people, but not among AI/AN people. Their death rates are higher for some preventable causes of death, especially cancer, suicide, diabetes, viral hepatitis, and alcohol-related deaths.
