Burden of cardiovascular disease from 1990 to 2017 in Henan Province, China

CONCLUSIONS: The absolute burden of CVDs in Henan is still high, although age-standardized DALYs declined between 1990 and 2017. The prevention and control of stroke and ischemic heart diseases should focus on a few modifiable risk factors which mainly contributed to the burden of CVDs, such as dietary factors, high systolic blood pressure, and tobacco use.PMID:34420496 | DOI:10.1080/16549716.2021.1959708
