According to multiple studies and reports from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), African Americans and Hispanics on average have higher rates of chronic illnesses and health disparities compared to whites. This includes higher rates of diabetes, heart disease, and certain types of cancer. Therefore, option D is the most accurate statement. Option A is false, as the opposite is true - on average, African Americans have a shorter life expectancy than whites. Option B is also false, as infant mortality is higher among minorities compared to whites. Option C is inaccurate as well, as whites generally have better health outcomes and fewer health disparities compared to minorities.
