incidence same; prevalence 3 times greater in non-whites than white.

a) case fatality rate higher in whites
b) disease duration shorter in whites

why is the answer B? why not A?

racist question?

BB (correct answer)

the correct statement for A is

case fatality rate higher in NONwhites (so its not the correct answer)

B. b/c the disease has been around longer in Non-whites ...there is no mention of who it kills more. just old and new cases of dz (i guess)

oops...sorry...my bad...... i am IMAGINING things now! GREAT!!!

thanks you guys....
