Although concerns have been expressed that mortality from coronary disease and all other causes is greater among Blacks than Whites, we hypothesized that, when socioeconomic status is adequately considered, mortality inequalities between Blacks and Whites are insignificant. The study population was a random sampling of Black and White men who were 35 years of age or older when recruited into the Charleston Heart Study in 1960. Education level and occupational status at baseline were used to compare mortality over the ensuing 28 years between Black and White men, who were classified as low or high socioeconomic status. In no instance were Black-White differences in all-cause or coronary disease mortality rates significantly different when socioeconomic status was controlled. We conclude that socioeconomic status is an important predictor of mortality and that, when socioeconomic status is considered, differences in Black-White mortality rates may be small.
