Answer 1

Answer: Health disparity means the difference of health between the two groups of people. Some group of people are more prone to many of the diseases while other group may be prone to different kind of disease. For example, African American are at higher risk of developing cardiovascular diseases where as Asian American are prone to diabetes. The race, ethnicities, beliefs, geography, income etc. are the major health disparities.

These disparities can be tackle by concentrating on the particular group which are more prone to developing the disease or the disorders. Effective plans and care only handle the health disparities. Proper intervention should be made to remove the health disparities.
