Asian American and non-Hispanic Black adults had lower rates of severe AS compared to White and Hispanic patients. The rate of severe AS progressively increases with age in all racial and ethnic groups, with higher rates in men compared with women. With a demographic shift toward an aging and more diverse population, the burden of AS is anticipated to rise. Ensuring adequate allocation of resources to meet the evolving needs of a diverse population remains a shared health care imperative.
