Relative to NHW individuals, NHB individuals are at elevated risk of meningioma from young adulthood through old age. NHB race/ethnicity conferred higher risk of meningioma among men than women, and higher risk of developing WHO grade 2/3 tumors. Results identify meningioma as a significant source of racial disparities in neuro-oncology and may help to improve preoperative predictions of meningioma grade.
