Demographics and regional trends of ischemic heart disease-related mortality in older adults in the United States, 1999-2020.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Ischemic heart disease (IHD) has a significant impact on public health and healthcare expenditures in the United States (US).

Methods

We used data from the CDC WONDER database from 1999-2020 to identify trends in the IHD-related mortality of patients ≥ 75 years in the US. AAMRs per 100,000 population and APC were calculated and categorized by year, sex, race, and geographic divisions.

Results

Between 1999 and 2020, a total of 8,124,568 IHD-related deaths were recorded. Notable declines in AAMR were observed from 1999 to 2014 (APC: -3.86) and from 2014 to 2018 (APC: -2.55), with an overall increase from 2018 to 2020 (APC: 3.76). Older men consistently demonstrated higher AAMRs than older females, with AAMRs for both sexes decreasing steadily from 1999 to 201
