Race or class, or race and class.

In 1987, The Milbank Quarterly published two special supplements on the health status of blacks in the United States. Dr. Vicente Navarro wrote a letter concerning the issues raised in these publications to the editor of The Milbank Quarterly, but the decision was made not to print it. Because of the importance of the subject involved, the letter is published here, with the hope of opening a debate on the issues discussed in The Milbank Quarterly's supplements and in Navarro's letter. Professor Miller, a major contributor to the supplements, will reply to Navarro's comments in an upcoming issue of this journal.

[Bone density in 20 black African young adults of the Bantu race is identical to that in subjects of white race].

Bone mineral content (BMC in g) as well as bone mineral density (BMD in g/cm2) were measured by dual photon absorptiometry in 20 black africans and 20 white individuals of the same age and sex. The BMC of african males, as well as their body mass index (BMI), were significantly less than those of the whites. In contrast, neither BMD nor the ratio of BMC to BMI differed between the two groups. These results suggest that morphotype plays a greater role than the ethnic factor in the determination of bone mass in the young adult.
