Cite This Study

Vaughan et al. (2015) conducted an observational in Heart disease mortality. Temporal trend analysis vs. Race and sex groups was evaluated on County-level percentage declines in heart disease mortality. Continual strong declines in heart disease mortality from 1973 to 2010 occurred in 73.2% of counties for white men, compared with 15.5% for black men and 17.3% for black women.
