Implication
Reinforces population BP control efforts; leaves open whether rising IHD offsets longevity gains in urban men.
Structured PICO

Population
General population in Japan, with comparisons to populations in the US, UK, France, and other countries, focusing on epidemiological trends of stroke and ischemic heart disease.
Japan's historical reduction in stroke mortality highlights the impact of blood pressure control and lifestyle changes, though rising ischemic heart disease in urban men presents a new public health challenge.
Cite This Study
Hiroyasu Iso (2021) conducted a review in Cardiovascular disease (stroke and ischemic heart disease). Age-standardized mortality from stroke in Japan declined substantially from 136 per 100,000 in 1980 to 24 per 100,000 in 2015, contributing to the country's high longevity.
