In Ohio, Black patients accounted for 31.8% of coronavirus hospitalizations but only make up 13% of the population, according to a new study.
Black, Latino and American Indian and Alaskan Native people were disproportionately hospitalized for Covid-19, according to a new analysis of 12 states' populations published Monday in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine.
"This analysis identified considerable disparities in the prevalence of Covid-19 across racial/ethnic subgroups of the population in 12 states," said the researchers from the Carlson School of Management at the University of Minnesota.
Only eight states reported hospitalization data for American Indian and Alaskan Native populations, but in some of these states there was a substantial disparity. For example, in Arizona, this group account for 4% of the state's population but 15.7% of the hospitalizations. In Utah, this group accounted for 0.9% of the state's population, but 5.0% of hospitalizations.Asian populations were the only group for which the pattern was largely reversed.
