Stroke/MI mortality declined ~40-50% in Seychelles; extends limited trend data in sub-Saharan Africa but leaves generalizability open.
Observational
Effect estimate: proportionate decreases of 44%/39% (men/women) for stroke, and 50%/53% for MI
Age-standardized stroke and MI mortality decreased markedly in Seychelles between 1989 and 2010, fully compensating for the impact of population aging.
Stringhini et al. (2012) conducted an observational in Stroke and myocardial infarction mortality. Calendar year (2008-2010) vs. 1989-1991 was evaluated on Age-standardized mortality rates for stroke and myocardial infarction (proportionate decreases of 44%/39% (men/women) for stroke, and 50%/53% for MI). Between 1989 and 2010 in Seychelles, age-standardized mortality rates decreased by 44% in men and 39% in women for stroke, and by 50% in men and 53% in women for myocardial infarction.
