Highlights the increasing burden and significant regional, urban-rural, and sex-related disparities of cardiovascular disease in China.
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading causes of mortalities worldwide and in China the prevalence rate has increased by 14•7% from 1990 to 2016, accounting for >40% of all moratlity [1]. Significant regional diversities in CVDs burdens have also been identified across China, including the urban-rural gradients and sex-related differences [2]. As well, there is a growing gap between different provinces, attributed to the imbalances of socioeconomic development and suboptimal ecology of medical care in China [3].
