Statistics answers to Kees Paap
Sorry to repost this--I forgot about the narrow window & wordwrap!! I'm caught in my favorite pink blouse which has tiny buttons everywhere, but especially the 3 on each cuff. My husband can't get them undone & I gave up about an hour ago, its too late to wake the neighbors, so I'm going to do the sensible thing & sleep in it!!!! I didn't have any trouble getting into it this morning so maybe I'll be able to get out of it by morning. If not, I'll have to cut the buttons off--WAAAAAAAAAH!!!! As Ever, Marjorie Moorefield just another librarian, (with PD) To: keespaap@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx From: olquilty@xxxxxxxxxxx (Marjorie Moorefield) Subject: Statistics Hello Kees, First let me answer question number one: In March 1993: ALL RACES: BLACK: WHITE: TOTAL: 254,241 TOTAL: 320,36 TOTAL: 190,532 MALE: 124,018 MALE: 150,73 MALE: 93,193 FEMALE:130,223 FEMALE 169,63 FEMALE: 97,340 source:Bureau of the Census, U.S. Dept. of Commerce Answer number two: In the U.S. Parkinson's disease is considered the underlying cause of death. Please refer to the other Statistics & Recap posts for the definition of Cause-of-Death Classification. Answer number three: According to the Bureau of the Census, U.S. Dept. of Commerce the percentages of Whites is 80.3% and the number of Blacks is only 12.1% of the TOTAL population of the U.S. Using those percentages, then more Whites would die, since they outnumber the Blacks by 68.2%. Answer number four: It is my understanding that Ali, the world champion boxer who has PD, is financing such a project, however, you would be well advised to ask a boxing fan, who would probably have more information. I made missed several States in posting my statistics, so later in the week I will post, both to you and the list, my corrections. I look forward to the promised statistics from Europe. As Ever, Marjorie Moorefield just another librarian (with PD)
