Age-adjusted, population-weighted mortality rates of ischaemic heart
disease (1968-78) and all cardiovascular diseases (1962-82) are presented
for the four study communities investigated by the Atherosclerosis Risk in
Communities (ARIC) Study. Temporal trends in mortality rates and
differences by gender, race and study community are discussed. There is an
overall pattern of decline in ischaemic heart disease and cardiovascular
disease mortality in the four study areas, but the onset and the magnitude
of the decline differ markedly by study community, race and gender.
Preliminary data on population levels of selected cardiovascular risk
factors measured in the ARIC Study cohort participants are also presented.
