Implication

Supports greater IHD mortality declines with preventive services in this cohort; leaves open causal effects of early detection on population mortality.

Structured PICO

Does early detection and treatment reduce ischemic heart disease mortality in the general population?

P
Population
Cohorts selected to be representative of Alameda County, California, in 1965 and 1974
I
Intervention
Early detection and treatment (assessed via self-reported heart trouble at baseline and use of preventive health services)
C
Comparator
Those who did not report heart trouble at baseline or did not use preventive health services
O
Outcome
Ischemic heart disease mortalityhard clinical

Early detection and the use of preventive health services were associated with a significantly greater decline in ischemic heart disease mortality, supporting their role in improving population cardiovascular outcomes.
