2018 Guidelines for the management of dyslipidemia

Abstract

eases of the circulatory system was 187 men per 100,000 population and 145 women per 100,000 population in 1983 and 111 men per 100,000 population and 125 women per 100,000 in 2016, indicating little change over the years. However, the age-adjusted mortality rate, which excludes the influence of aging of the population during this period, decreased to about one-fifth of the initial rate (Fig. Death from CAD has consistently increased since 1983, when the cause of death statistics were first measured, reaching 31 men per 100,000 and 26 women per 100,000 in 2016. However, age-adjusted mortality of CAD reached a peak in the early and mid-2000s and began to decline since then (Fig. Deaths from cerebrovascular disease declined since 2000s, reaching 44 men per 100,000 and 47 women per 100,000 in 2016. Age-adjusted mortality for cerebrovascular disease has declined very quickly (Fig. Among various cerebrovascular diseases, there were more deaths from cerebral hemorrhage (non-traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage and subarachnoid hemorrhage) until 2002, but deaths from cerebral infarction (ischemic stroke) have become more common since then. This is speculated to be due to the marked decline in the incidence and improved treatment outcomes of cerebral hemorrhage as a result 500 400
