African American health issues

African Americans often face higher rates of health problems like hypertension, diabetes, and heart disease due to a mix of factors including genetics, limited access to healthcare, socioeconomic disparities, and environmental challenges. These issues are worsened by factors like stress from systemic inequalities and health behaviors influenced by social circumstances. Addressing these disparities requires comprehensive efforts in healthcare access, education, community support, and policy changes to ensure equitable health opportunities for all.
