Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major cause of mortality, with economic implications for the health system.
To characterize the burden of CVD in Mexico from 1990 to 2021 based on the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study, to address the burden of health and disease, its implications for public health and for the development of the health care system.
CVD mortality in Mexico is described, and the extent to which population growth and aging explain the observed trends, sex differences, and geographic patterns is examined.
CVD is the leading cause of mortality, mainly due to hypertensive heart disease, intracerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, ischemic heart disease and ischemic stroke. A change of trend was observed in men and women, with higher mortality in people older than 80 years and in the northern states of the country.
Mexico must invest in public health programs to address modifiable risks, promote healthy aging, and reduce premature death due to CVD.
心血管疾病(CVD)是导致死亡的主要原因,对卫生系统具有经济影响。
根据全球疾病负担(GBD)研究,描述 1990 年至 2021 年墨西哥 CVD 的负担,以解决健康和疾病负担、对公共卫生的影响以及医疗保健系统的发展问题。
描述了墨西哥的 CVD 死亡率,并研究了人口增长和老龄化对观察到的趋势、性别差异和地理模式的解释程度。
CVD 是导致死亡的主要原因,主要是由于高血压性心脏病、脑出血、蛛网膜下腔出血、缺血性心脏病和缺血性中风。在男性和女性中观察到趋势的变化,80 岁以上人群以及该国北部各州的死亡率更高。
墨西哥必须投资公共卫生计划,以解决可改变的风险,促进健康老龄化,并减少因 CVD 导致的过早死亡。
