Age-Standardized Congestive Heart Failure Incidence Rates for Alberta

Alberta Health Service zones provide age-standardized incidence rates for congestive heart failure, expressed per 100,000 population and as a percentage. The dataset is produced by the Government of Alberta and was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Compare age-standardized incidence rates across Alberta Health Service Continuum zones to identify regional health disparities.
• Analyze incidence rate trends over time for former Health Regions and their designated peer groups.
• Model public health resource allocation using per 100,000 population and percentage-based rate metrics.

Strengths

• Data is provided at the granular level of Alberta Health Service Continuum zones and former Health Regions.
• Rates are calculated using two distinct metrics: per 100,000 population and as a percentage.
• Dataset is maintained and updated by a provincial government authority.

Limitations

• Data scope is limited to the province of Alberta, Canada, limiting broader geographic analysis.
• The dataset is provided only in HTML format, which is not ideal for direct programmatic analysis.
