Analyzing How the Risk of CHD (congenital heart disease) Varies in Different Ancestry Groups and Ethnicities

Congenital heart disease (CHD) is one of the most common birth defects worldwide and is a significant contributor to global mortality. The research paper has focused on the reasons for and how outcomes of CHD vary across different ethnic groups, and correlate and investigate the different socioeconomic and genetic factors that influence the likelihood of CHD. By analysing and combining the data from these research papers, the results have pinpointed that non-white populations experience higher rates of CHD incidence and mortality compared to white populations. This is most commonly linked to non white people having socioeconomic disadvantages in countries, such as America, and genetic factors where certain chromosomal abnormalities that cause CHD are found more in some ethnic groups compared to others. Overall, the results have pinpointed that disparities in CHD are influenced by a combination and interaction of both biological and social factors, and understanding these factors are crucial in finding ways to improve access to health care.
