  • A new study has found that the premature death of millions of black voters in the US has affected the outcome of several elections. Overall, in the US, the mortality rate for blacks, across age and gender, is almost 18 percent higher than the rate for whites. But while high-profile killings make the headlines, the far greater cause of premature death of African American people are chronic and stress-related diseases, says Arline Geronimus of Stanford University in California.
