A new report is asking a crucial question about American health: how do rates of heart disease and diabetes differ across racial and ethnic groups? The report focuses on adults in the United States and looks at the prevalence of these diagnosed conditions. It doesn't give us specific numbers or comparisons, so we don't know the size of any potential gaps or which groups might be most affected. This means the report is more of a spotlight on an important issue than a detailed map. It tells us we need to look closer and collect better information to truly understand where health disparities exist and how to address them.

What this means for you:
A report calls for a closer look at heart disease and diabetes rates across different groups in the US.
