Coronary Heart Disease, Myocardial Infarction, and Stroke — A Public Health Issue

State of Aging and Health in America: Data Brief Series features topic-specific documents on public health issues related to older adults. The Coronary Heart Disease, Myocardial Infarction and Stroke data brief is the third in the series.

The brief provides public health professionals with the most recent, practical, and useful data available on coronary heart disease, blood pressure, and stroke for adults aged 45 years or older. Key data breakdowns by state, age, gender, and ethnicity are included and are often useful for states and other stakeholders in making informed decisions and policies related to these issues.

Several Calls to Action to increase overall health and well-being messaging to both the growing older population and their caregivers conclude the brief.
