These were people with Type 2 Diabetes. 

Does that matter? Here's another:

Coronary artery calcium was nearly twice as prevalent in white (19.2%) than in black participants [ . . . ] Black individuals had a threefold greater prevalence of hypertension, left ventricular hypertrophy, ST-T-wave abnormalities, and current cigarette smoking. Black subjects also had significantly greater blood pressure, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, glycosylated hemoglobin, lipoprotein(a) and fibrinogen levels, and lower triglyceride levels and waist girth than white subjects.

After adjustment for these differences, and socioeconomic adjusters, black individuals were 39% as likely to have any CAC present.
