African American health encompasses the physical and mental well-being of individuals within the African American community. This population often faces unique health challenges, including higher rates of chronic conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, and obesity. Access to healthcare services can also be limited due to socioeconomic factors, leading to disparities in health outcomes. Cultural factors, including lifestyle and dietary habits, play a significant role in African American health. Community programs and initiatives aim to address these disparities by promoting healthier lifestyles and increasing access to preventive care. Understanding these factors is essential for improving overall health in the African American population.
