Tendencia de la mortalidad por enfermedades cerebrovasculares en Chile entre 1980 y 2015

Abstract

Background: Stroke is the third largest single cause of death in Chile, responsible for 7.3% of all deaths in 2019. Large declines in stroke mortality rates in most Latin American countries in recent decades have been reported. Aim: To analyze the trend in stroke mortality in Chile between 1980 and 2015. Material and Methods: We extracted data for age-standardized death rate (ASDR) stroke mortality per 100,000 inhabitants in Chile for the period 1980-2015 from the WHO Mortality Database. Joinpoint regression analysis was used to analyze the trend and compute the average annual percent change (AAPC) by gender in Chile.

Adherence to the Mediterranean diet and the risk of stroke in Chilean population: a case-control study

“…The third cause of death in Chile is stroke, accounting for 7.3% of all deaths in 2019 ( 20) and a population-estimated incidence of 140 per 100,000/year; that result was moderate incidence. The agestandardized mortality rate of stroke for the year 2015 in Chile (34.4 per 100,000 habitants) (21) doubles that of developed countries such as the United States (21.9 per 100,000 habitants) and Canada (16.4 per 100,000 habitants). In the central-southern regions of Chile, the stroke mortality and case-fatality rates are higher than in the northern and southern regions.…”
