Coronary heart disease mortality continues to decrease across all age groups in Sweden, though the rate of decline has slowed in younger men since 1991.
In Sweden, coronary heart disease deaths are still falling. We were unable to confirm a flattening of the decline in young people. Death rates continue to decline in men and women across all age groups, albeit at a slower pace in younger men since 1991. Continued careful monitoring of CHD mortality trends in Sweden is required, particularly among young adults.
