Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease Mortality in Asian American Subgroups
Key result
Asian American CV mortality varies, with IHD peaking at 133 per 100,000 in Asian Indian men.
- n=33,177,439
Why the study?
Asian American individuals are the fastest-growing racial and ethnic group in the US, and certain subgroups may face disproportionately high cardiovascular risk.
Population
618 004 non-Hispanic Asian American, 30 267 178 non-Hispanic White, and 2 292 257 Hispanic decedents
Comparison
Non-Hispanic Asian American subgroups vs non-Hispanic White and Hispanic individuals across sexes
Design
Retrospective mortality study of US death certificates

There is significant heterogeneity in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular mortality trends among Asian American subgroups, highlighting the need for disaggregated data to identify high-risk populations.
Cite This Study
Shah et al. (2022) conducted an observational in Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease mortality (n=33,177,439). Asian American subgroups vs. Non-Hispanic White and Hispanic individuals was evaluated on Age-standardized mortality rates of ischemic heart disease, heart failure, and cerebrovascular disease. Cardiovascular mortality trends varied among Asian American subgroups from 2003-2017, with the highest 2017 ischemic heart disease ASMR in Asian Indian men (133 per 100,000).
