Circulatory diseases and the wide sex and ethnic life expectancy gaps in Bulgaria since 2010
In Bulgaria, circulatory diseases contributed more to both the sex and ethnic LE gaps than in any other previously studied country. Our findings suggest that future public health policy initiatives should focus on circulatory diseases to narrow the Bulgarian LE disparities. One possible target for such a policy would be to reduce excessive smoking and alcohol consumption.
