Ethnic Factors in Health and Disease discusses ethnicity from a medical perspective. The book is comprised of 35 chapters that are grouped into four sections. The text first covers the background issues concerning the relationship between ethnicity and health. The next part deals with topics related to epidemiology, such as the health of migrants and interethnic comparison of cardiovascular disease. Next, the book tackles the sociology of health; this part covers occupational status, housing, and racism. The last part discusses the specific medical aspects, including pregnancy, viral infections, and cardiovascular disease. The book will be of great use to medical researchers and practitioners. Professionals dealing with ethnicity, such as sociologists, anthropologists, and psychologists will also benefit from this book.
