Recent Changes in CVR Disease Mortality in California: An Epidemiologic Appraisal

NBNemat O. BorhaniHHH. H. Hechter

Key Result

Cardiovascular-renal diseases accounted for 53% of all deaths in California and 55% of all deaths in the United States in 1960.

Structured PICO

P
Population
General population of California and the United States, specifically focusing on adults aged 35-64 years, stratified by age (10-year groups), sex, and race (White, Negro, Other nonwhite) during census years (primarily 1950 and 1960).
O
Outcome
Age-sex-race-specific mortality rates from cardiovascular-renal diseases, including arteriosclerotic heart disease, hypertensive heart disease, and cerebrovascular diseases.hard clinical

Cardiovascular-renal disease mortality, particularly from hypertensive heart disease, significantly declined in California between 1950 and 1960 across most demographic groups, potentially reflecting the introduction of early antihypertensive therapies.

Limitations

  • Changes in medical concepts, diagnostic skills, disease classification, and certification practices over time
  • Discrepancies in coding between the sixth and seventh revisions of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases
  • Potential confounding due to the influx of 'healthy' persons migrating to California during the study period
