| | Comments (0) |

Ken Jeffries talks with Dr. Rita Singhal, the Medical Director of the county's Office of Women's Health. She says economy, ethnicity and environment are huge factors in the new study...and when it comes to the economy, the recession was just beginning when these numbers were gathered...indicating that the next survey will show things getting WORSE.

The report also shows that African-American women have far higher mortality rates from many chronic diseases...and that Latinas say they have the poorest health status among all ethnic groups.
