Roth, Gregory A. | 2018
IMPORTANCE Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in the United States,
but regional variation within the United States is large. Comparable and consistent state-level
measures of total CVD burden and risk factors have not been produced previously.
OBJECTIVE To quantify and describe levels and trends of lost health due to CVD within the
United States from 1990 to 2016 as well as risk factors driving these changes.
DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Using the Global Burden of Disease methodology,
cardiovascular disease mortality, nonfatal health outcomes, and associated risk factors were
analyzed by age group, sex, and year from 1990 to 2016 for all residents in the United States
using standardized approaches for data processing and statistical modeling. Burden of
disease was estimated for 10 groupings of CVD, and comparative risk analysis was performed.
Data were analyzed from August 2016 to July 2017.
