Preventing Chronic Disease GIS Snapshot | Geographic Disparities in Declining Rates of Heart Disease Mortality in the Southern United States, 1973"2010 - CDC
In the United States, heart disease mortality has decreased since the 1950s (1). However, these declines have not occurred uniformly across the country, and slower rates of decline may indicate increased need for heart disease prevention policies and programs (2). In this article, we document the geographic inequalities in declining heart disease death rates in the South — a region with high heart disease mortality rates. We also consider methods for generating county-level estimates of changing heart disease death rates.
