Why the study?
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in China, prompting the need for national and subnational estimates of premature mortality burden changes from 2005 to 2020.
While absolute CVD deaths in China increased from 2005 to 2020 largely due to population aging, the age-standardized mortality rate and premature mortality burden decreased.
