... We then consider a counterfactual scenario in which disparities in disease impact on mortality, disability, and workforce participation are eliminated. Future Elderly Model The Future Elderly Model is a dynamic microsimulation of health risk factors, chronic illnesses, disability, and health-related economic outcomes for the U.S.

... Throughout, non-Hispanic white males serve as the reference group due to their historical inclusion and representation in clinical trials. Non-Hispanic Black males, Hispanic males, non-Hispanic white females, non-Hispanic Black females, and Hispanic females all potentially benefit from narrowing the differential impact of disease on the outcomes of interest.

... Adjusted relative risks for the key parameters of interest (the underrepresented group and disease interaction term) are shown in A-2.
From page 172...
... Initial prevalence of disease varies across groups, with the highest rates of diabetes among non-Hispanic Black males, Hispanic males, and Hispanic females. Heart disease at baseline is highest among non-Hispanic white females and non-Hispanic Black males.

... Lifetime risk for developing these chronic illnesses is high for the 51–52-yearold cohort in the FEM, as seen in Table A-7, Table A-8, and Table A-9. Diabetes risk ranges from 47 percent for non-Hispanic white females to 77 percent for Hispanic females.

... Similarly, Table A-12 shows the transition models for key outcomes in the heart disease analysis. Here, the key parameter of interest, "underrepresented and has heart disease," is associated with a 0.9 percentage point increase in 2-year mortality, a 5.6 percentage point increase in reporting disability, and a 3.8 percentage point reduction in working for pay.
