These results indicate a significant decline in cerebrovascular disease-related mortality among older adults from 1999 to 2020, highlighting improvements in healthcare and preventive measures over the two decades. Despite the overall decrease, elderly females had more deaths, elderly males had a higher AAMR, non-Hispanic blacks had the highest AAMR, and the Midwest and non-metropolitan areas had higher mortality burdens. The recent uptick in mortality rates from 2018 to 2020 underscores the need for ongoing public health efforts to address cerebrovascular diseases, particularly targeting vulnerable populations and high-risk regions.
