Cardiovascular, coronary and heart attack statistics worldwide show that men are more prone to these diseases than women in general, and as you will see that will also be the case in countries...
Reports from the United Nations and the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) indicate that Japan, Korea, and France are countries with the lowest heart disease rates. Here’s what we can learn from the way these countries live.
Which country has highest rate of heart disease? Uzbekistan had the highest rate of fatal heart disease in the world in 2021, with 798.3 out of every 100,000 people (nearly .8% of the total population) having died due to cardiovascular disease during the year.
Countries with the lowest levels are in the High-Income region (mean particulate matter = 11.2 mg/m3) followed by the Southeast Asia, East Asia, and Oceania region (mean particulate matter = 15.2 mg/m3).
Around 4 in every 5 CVD deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries and progress in cardiovascular health is increasingly concentrated in High-Income countries - a glaring health inequity that must urgently be addressed. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to improving cardiovascular health globally.
Rates were lowest for locations in high-income Asia Pacific and North America, Latin America, Western Europe, and Australasia. Globally, it was estimated that in 2020, 244.1 million people were living with ischemic heart disease (IHD), and it was more prevalent in males than in females (141.0 and 103.1 million people, respectively).
In the U.K., the Brits’ high daily consumption of saturated and trans fats – chief suspects among risk factors for heart disease – is actually topped by those living in Germany, Belgium and France. Yet these three salami-eating countries boast fewer heart disease deaths than the U.K., according to the British Heart Foundation.
In the report, published in the medical journal The Lancet, researchers explain why The Tsimane people—a hunter-gatherer population of the Bolivian Amazon—have the lowest reported levels of vascular aging for any population on record with coronary atherosclerosis, hardening of the arteries, being five times less common than in the U.S.
While cardiovascular disease rates are high globally, regions of Asia, Europe, Africa and the Middle East were estimated to have the highest burden of CVD mortality. High blood pressure, high cholesterol, dietary risks and air pollution remain its leading causes.
In 2020, South Korea had the lowest rate of death from ischemic heart disease among OECD countries at around 29 deaths per 100,000 inhabitants. This statistic shows the death rate from heart...
