I think Africans Americans life expectancy is lower then other ethnic groups because African Americans catch a lot of diseases from not taking care of themselves. They become ill, they can't fucntion right and die at an early age.

CURRICULUM MAP
Big Idea for Content Area:
To compare and contrast diseases, health conditions and health care that is prevalent in adolescents and adults including cancer, obesity, etc. in African Americans.
To discuss the importance of early detection of diseases, health conditions and health care that affects the African American community.

Essential Question for Content Area:
To what extent can we keep ourselves free of hereditary and non-hereditary diseases?
Why are some diseases more prominent in the African-American culture?
Why are health disparities between African Americans and other racial groups more apparent in life expectancy, infant mortality and other measures of health status?
Enduring Understandings: (2.1 A, B, C, D 2.2B 2.3 B)
An individual’s health at different life stages is dependent on heredity, environmental factors and lifestyle choices.
Current and emerging diagnostic, prevention and treatment strategies can help people live healthier and longer lives.
