Mortality from circulatory diseases by specific country of birth across six European countries: test of concept

摘要: Background: Important differences in cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality by country of birth have been shown within European countries. We now focus on CVD specific across Methods: For Denmark, England and Wales, France, The Netherlands, Scotland Sweden information circulatory disease, the subcategories ischaemic heart cerebrovascular was analysed birth. Information population obtained from census data or registers. Directly age-standardized rates per 100 000 were estimated sex for each group using WHO World Standard 2000–25 structure. results, at least one two 95% confidence intervals did not overlap. Results: Circulatory similar countries men born India (355.7 372.8 244.5 Sweden). other groups—China, Pakistan, Poland, Turkey Yugoslavia—there substantial between-country differences. example, Poland had a rate 630.0 Denmark 499.3 Wales 153.5 France; 439.4 231.4 Netherlands. A pattern seen women, e.g. women 264.9 126.4 54.4 France. patterns mortality. Conclusion: Cross-country comparisons are feasible resulting findings interesting. They merit public health consideration.
