CHD death rates fall

May 9, 2014

THE Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) has released a report showing that coronary heart disease death rates fell overall by more than 70% between 1979 and 2010 for people over 25 years old, from 31,000 to 21,700. However, the fall in rates was starting to slow for people from their mid to late 20s to their late 60s, with the average annual fall in CHD death rates for men aged 40 to 54 slowing from 6.6% to 3.2% from 2000 to 2010. For women, the annual decline fell from 7.4% from 1997 to 2.7% to 2010. This was thought to be due to trends in key risk factors such as obesity, diet and lack of exercise, AIHW spokesperson Sushma Mathur said.
