The study outcome was all-cause mortality and cardiovascular death, and the International Classification of Diseases (ICD, 10th revision) was used to assess participants` underlying cause of cardiovascular death (codes I00-I99). The date and cause of death of a deceased participant were collected...
Hemorrhagic stroke, ischemic heart disease, and ischemic stroke were the 3 leading causes of CVD death. The age-standardized CVD mortality decreased from 144.5/100,000 to 100.7/100,000 in the residents (average annual percentage change [AAPC] -1.0, 95% confidence interval [CI] -1.7 to −...
The mortality of CVD increased in those born during 1937–1945, a period of the Japanese military occupation, and during 1958–1965, a period including the Chinese Famine. Sequelae of CVD and ischemic heart disease are predicted to be the leading causes of CVD death in 2029. Conclusions ...
