This is an interesting study, we often hear of African Americans being predisposed to certain diseases. More than anything else, it seems that the main culprit always comes down to
“Certain Socioeconomic Factors”

Aside from early detection and regular medical check ups I believe an emphasis on dealing with/overcoming socioeconomic factors, exercise, stress management, eating habits, overall balance, and living life abundantly is needed as well.
