Trend Analysis of the Mortality Rates of the Top Three Causes of Death Among Chinese Residents from 2003 to 2019.

ABSTRACT: Objective: To delineate the mortality trends of malignant tumors, heart disease and cerebrovascular disease in China. Methods: The crude mortality from 2003 to 2019 was derived from the China Health Statistical Yearbook, and the mortality rates were analyzed through joinpoint regression supplemented by descriptive statistics and χ2 tests. Results: The fitting model of age-standardized mortality due to malignant tumors showed three joinpoints. The APCs from 2003 to 2005, 2005-2008, 2008-2012 and 2012-2019 were -11.00%, 9.63%, -4.67% and -1.40%, respectively, and the AAPC was -1.54%. The mortality rate of cerebrovascular disease consistently decreased (APC = AAPC = -0.98%). In the subgroup analyses, significant differences were observed between sexes and regions. The mor
