Overview

Lack of significant CHD mortality decline in women 35-54 warrants targeted prevention; leaves open whether risk-factor trends have worsened.

Key Points

  • This research assesses trends in coronary heart disease mortality by gender and age in France from 2000 to 2007.
  • Analyzed myocardial infarction and coronary death records from the MONICA population registers
  • Population aged 35-74 years
  • Combined data from geographical areas in France
  • Age-standardized CHD mortality decreased by 24% in men and 38% in women from 2000 to 2007
  • Among ages 55-74, mortality reduction was significant at -5.2% per year for men and -9.0% for women (p < 10^-4)
  • No significant decline was observed in younger men (35-54) or women with a p-value of 0.43

While overall CHD mortality in France declined from 2000 to 2007, the lack of significant improvement in younger women highlights a concerning trend that requires targeted primary prevention.
