Sex differences in life expectancy after AMI were minimal, but were greatest in the youngest and oldest ages. Racial differences in life expectancy after AMI were greatest in younger patients and became nonsignificant in older patients. (B) Mean life expectancy in the general Medicare population by sex and race Mean life expectancy for white men (light blue), white women (orange), black men (dark blue), and black women (red) in the general Medicare population is shown by age. Women had significantly higher life expectancy than men at all ages. Racial differences in life expectancy were greatest in younger patients. Figure Legend:

However, the magnitude of these differences also varied by age. Abbreviations as in Figure 1. Figure Legend:

After accounting for sex differences in life expectancy in the general Medicare population, there were large sex differences in years of potential life lost, particularly in younger patients. Racial differences in YPLL were less pronounced. Abbreviations as in Figure 1. Figure Legend:

Black women lost the greatest percentage of life-years after AMI, followed by white women and then black men. These differences were most pronounced in younger patients and became similar in very elderly patients. Abbreviations as in Figure 1. Figure Legend:

Because women live longer than men in the general population, women lost more YPLL after AMI. By contrast, black patients had shorter life expectancies after AMI and in the general population. However, they also lost more YPLL after AMI. Race differences in YPLL were largely explained by the higher risk factor burden and lower treatment rates in black patients; however, sex differences in YPLL persisted after adjustment.
