Total mortality rates and coronary heart disease (CHD) mortality rates are declining in the USA. Accordingly, the oldest individuals (85+ years) comprise the fastest growing segment of the population. How do these declines in mortality apply to and re-apportion other age groups? We examined trends in CHD mortality for the USA population over 25 years of age, focusing on changes occurring among individuals 65-74 and 75-84 years of age.
在美国,总死亡率和冠心病(CHD)死亡率正在下降。相应地,年龄最大的人群(85岁及以上)是人口中增长最快的部分。这些死亡率的下降如何适用于其他年龄组并重新分配其比例呢?我们研究了25岁及以上美国人群冠心病死亡率的趋势,重点关注65 - 74岁和75 - 84岁人群中的变化。
