Cite This Study
Wu et al. (2001) conducted an observational in Cardiovascular disease (CVD). Disease surveillance (WHO MONICA methodology) was evaluated on Incidence and mortality rate of coronary heart disease and cerebrovascular disease. Community-based prospective disease surveillance in China demonstrated low coronary heart disease incidence (up to 108.7/100,000) but high cerebrovascular disease incidence (up to 553.3/100,000).
