The facts about GI health disparities

Did you know that Hispanics have the highest prevalence and severity of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)?

Giving Day background

The patients we serve face racial health disparities daily, and they need our help now more than ever. That’s why AGA Giving Day is so important. Here are just some of the disparities we’re working to combat: 

  • African Americans have the highest incidence of colorectal cancer of any racial group in the U.S. and twice the hepatitis C and liver cancer as whites.

  • Hispanics have the highest prevalence and severity of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).

  • Health care differences due to race and socioeconomic status are factors related to poor outcomes for patients with IBD.

Will you join our fight by making a tax-deductible donation to the AGA Research Foundation on AGA Giving Day?

Contributors will be recognized as supporters of our fight to achieve equity and eradicate disparities in digestive diseases.
