Implication
Sex-specific CHD and stroke trend monitoring may be warranted; leaves open drivers of divergent mortality versus event trajectories.

P
Population
Men and women aged 35 to 64 years from 15 populations in the WHO MONICA Project (23.4 million person-years of observation, 60,763 CHD events, 10,442 stroke events)

10-year trends in mortality, event rates, and case fatality from CHD and strokehard clinical
Trends in coronary heart disease and stroke mortality and event rates differ substantially, suggesting divergent epidemiological trajectories despite shared risk factors.
