TEMPORARY REMOVAL: Cardiovascular Disease Mortality by County, Race and/or Ethnic Population, United States, 2000-2019
- Descriptive epidemiological study
- small-area estimation
- death certificate data (US National Vital Statistics System)
- county-level
Authors' conclusion
While declining CVD mortality reflects meaningful clinical and public health progress, persistent and pervasive disparities demand solutions-oriented, place-informed research to drive further progress.
Study context
- Population
- US population by county, race and/or ethnicity, 21 causes of cardiovascular disease (CVD) death, 2000–20193,110 counties
- Comparison
- AIAN vs Asian vs Black vs Latino vs White
- Outcome
- County-level age-standardised CVD mortality rates and trends by race and/or ethnicity and CVD cause
- Follow-up
- 2000-2019
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
ASMR for total CVD · 2019
ASMR for total CVD (deaths per 100,000; 95% uncertainty interval 237.2-238.4)
237.8
Further findings
Spatial mortality patterns
- Spatial mortality patterns varied considerably by CVD cause and by race and/or ethnicity
