The aim of this study was to ascertain whether the determinants of death differ as a function of type of analysis in a representative sample of older African American and White people with comparable mortality rates. It was found that risk factors for mortality were comparable, but the constellation of characteristics indicating higher risk for death differed between African American and White people. The analysis used may influence the type and manner of intervention.
