Under 75 Mortality from Cardiovascular Disease: Age and Sex Standardized Rates

Directly age and sex standardized mortality rates from cardiovascular disease for people aged under 75 per 100,000 registered patients. The dataset is provided by the Government Digital Service under an Open Government Licence and was last updated in September 2016, with a next version due in December 2017. It is available in EXCEL XLS and CSV formats.

Use Cases

• Evaluate the effectiveness of public health interventions targeting cardiovascular disease.
• Model the burden of cardiovascular disease in populations under 75 years old.

Strengths

• Data is directly age and sex standardized, enabling fair comparisons across groups.
• Provided under an Open Government Licence, facilitating reuse and analysis.
