Numerous authors have critiqued the use of race as an etiologic quantity in medical research. Despite this criticism, variables encoding racial/ethnic categorization has increased epidemiology, and most researchers agree that important variation disease risk is captured by classification system. Previous discussions generally neglected to articulate guidelines for appropriate information The summarize logical, conceptual, practical problems associated with “ethnic paradigm” currently applied...
