Extended Data Fig. 5

Figure shows data from non-Hispanic White (N = 9,150), Black (N = 2,204), and Hispanic (N = 1,630) -identifying older adults in the US Health and Retirement Study. Panel A shows the differences in distribution of Pace of Aging between White, Black, and Hispanic participants. Densities reflect distributions of Pace of Aging after adjustment for chronological age. White lines show group means. Panel B shows effect-size estimates for the differences in Pace of Aging relative to White participants. The figure illustrates overall faster pace of aging in Hispanic- and Black-identifying older adults as compared with White-identifying older adults.
