To the Editor: Understanding the causes of black-white differences in mortality has important consequences for interventions to reduce health inequalities in the United States. A previous report found a nearly 2-year decline in the black-white life expectancy gap among men and a 1-year decline among women between 1993 and 2003.1 We investigated whether these changes have continued in recent years.
