Rates and Trends in Heart Disease and Stroke Mortality Among US Adults [35+] by County, Age Group, Race/Ethnicity, and Sex – 2000-2019
This dataset documents rates and trends in heart disease and stroke mortality. Specifically, this report presents county [or county equivalent] estimates of heart disease and stroke death rates in 2000-2019 and trends during two intervals [2000-2010, 2010-2019] by age group [ages 35–64 years, ages 65 years and older], race/ethnicity [non-Hispanic American Indian/Alaska Native, non-Hispanic Asian/Pacific Islander, non-Hispanic Black, Hispanic, non-Hispanic White], and sex [women, men]. The rates and trends were estimated using a Bayesian spatiotemporal model and a smoothed over space, time, and demographic group. Rates are age-standardized in 10-year age groups using the 2010 US population. Data source: National Vital Statistics System.
