Key result
CV death rates among Mississippi adults fall ~34% between 2000 and 2018.
Observational
Effect estimate: AAPC -2.3% (95% CI -2.7% to -1.8%)
Absolute Event Rate: 550.5% vs 832.3%
p-value: p=<.05
While overall cardiovascular mortality in Mississippi declined significantly from 2000 to 2018, adults aged 55 to 64 experienced a concerning annual increase in CVD death rates starting in 2011.
Mississippi's CVD mortality decline supports sustained prevention; leaves open drivers of rising rates in adults aged 55-64.

Mendy et al. (2022) conducted an observational in Cardiovascular disease mortality. Observation over time (2000-2018) vs. Year 2000 baseline was evaluated on Age-adjusted cardiovascular disease death rate per 100,000 population (AAPC -2.3%, 95% CI -2.7% to -1.8%, p=<.05). Between 2000 and 2018, the age-adjusted cardiovascular disease death rate among Mississippi adults aged 35 years or older declined by 33.9%, with an average annual decline of 2.3%.
