Key result
CHD and CVD mortality in young adults aged 35-44 years steadily declined in the EU from 1980-2007 (CHD AAPC -3.3% in men, -2.1% in women), except in Russia where rates were 10-15 fold higher.
Observational
Yes
CHD and CVD mortality in young adults steadily declined in most European countries between 1980 and 2007, highlighting regional disparities, particularly with much higher rates in Russia.

Declines support sustained prevention efforts among young EU adults; leaves open causes of Russian excess mortality.
Bertuccio et al. (2011) conducted an observational in Coronary heart disease and cerebrovascular disease. Trend analysis was evaluated on Trends in CHD and CVD mortality (average annual percent changes). CHD and CVD mortality in young adults aged 35-44 years steadily declined in the EU from 1980-2007 (CHD AAPC -3.3% in men, -2.1% in women), except in Russia where rates were 10-15 fold higher.
