Scrutinizing the Mortality from Cerebrovascular Disease with Underlying Metabolic Syndrome in the United States from 2000 to 2019 - A Comprehensive Analysis of CDC WONDER Database
Temporal analysis revealed that the mortality improvement, as measured by the annual percent change (APC) noted earlier in the study period, plateaued between 2014 and 2019. Notable sociodemographic disparities were also observed. These findings help identify vulnerable groups based on sociodemographic and geographic characteristics, guiding the development of targeted preventive interventions.
