each dot represents metro area representing 100k. I wonder how this would look if you separate the data by race and average weight?

- sparker72678 4y agoThe article breaks it down; disparity is consistent across age, race, gender, income…
- makeitdouble 4y agoCurious how you isolate for race between two separate continents ?
- PeterisP 4y agoBoth USA and UK have a sizeable subpopulations of people of European, African and Asian descent, large enough to have reasonably reliable statistics on them.
- makeitdouble 4y agoI kinda expect it's just not possible for two main reasons: - the concept of "race" ("ethnicity" would be a better word?) will vary depending on culture, and the intial split of populations + 2 centuries should be enough to bring significant divergences. When you say "asians" I'd fully expect the composition of that group to be a lot different on each sides of the pond. - I don't expect the UK to have widely available etchnically separated data. They do check the repartition on census, but would they refer to that on death stats ? I could be wrong but that seems complicated on many aspects.
- pcurve 4y agoArticle? I only see one chart? It doesn't mention anything about race and weight.
