| Abstract: | Recent analyses suggest the decline in coronary heart disease mortality rates is slowing in younger age groups in countries
such as the US and the UK. This work aimed to analyse recent trends in cardiovascular mortality rates in the Netherlands.
Analysis was of annual all circulatory, ischaemic heart disease (IHD), and cerebrovascular disease mortality rates between
1980 and 2009 for the Netherlands. Data were stratified by sex and 10-year age group (age 35–85+). The annual rate of change
and significant changes in the trend were identified using joinpoint Poisson regression. For almost all age and sex groups
examined the rate of IHD and cerebrovascular disease mortality in the Netherlands has more than halved between 1980 and 2009.
The decline in mortality from both IHD and cerebrovascular disease is continuing for all ages and sex groups, with anacceleration
in the decline apparent from the late 1990s/early 2000s. The decline in age-specific all circulatory, coronary heart disease
and cerebrovascular disease mortality rates continues for all age and sex groups in the Netherlands. |
