Key result
Western European cardiovascular mortality falls ~62% since 1990 despite remaining a leading cause of death.
Why the study?
Cardiovascular diseases and neoplasms are leading causes of mortality worldwide, warranting analysis of their mortality burden, DALYs, risk factors, regional disparities, and prevention policies in Western Europe.
Observational
Yes
Despite significant reductions in mortality rates from 1990 to 2021, cardiovascular diseases and neoplasms remain the leading causes of death in Western Europe, highlighting the need for continued preventive efforts.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
High remaining share of deaths despite declines supports sustained prevention; leaves open optimal strategies to accelerate further reductions.
Mubarik et al. (2024) conducted an observational in Cardiovascular diseases and neoplasms. Cardiovascular diseases and neoplasms was evaluated on Mortality and DALYs attributable to CVDs and neoplasms. In 2021, cardiovascular diseases and neoplasms accounted for 27.8% and 27.1% of total deaths in Western Europe, despite mortality rates decreasing by 61.9% and 28.27% respectively since 1990.
