Critical Issues- Chronic Disease is Costly
  • Seven of every 10 U.S. residents who die each
    year (1.7 million persons) do so as a result of
    a chronic disease.
  • Chronic diseases are the most preventable causes
    of death.
  • Chronic diseases affect the quality of life of 90
    million U.S. residents.
  • The cost of medical care for persons with these
    diseases accounts for 70 of total medical care
    expenditures.

Critical Issues- Heart Disease in the U.S.
  • Heart disease is the leading cause of death for
    both women and men in the U.S.
  • In 2001, 700,142 people died of heart disease
    (52 women 48 men), accounting for 29 of all
    U.S. deaths.
  • Heart disease is the leading cause of death for
    American Indians and Alaska Natives, blacks,
    Hispanics, and whites. Although cancer is the
    leading cause of death for Asians and Pacific
    Islanders (accounting for 26.4 of all deaths),
    heart disease is a close second (25.4). 
  • At the end of 2004, heart disease cost 238.6
    billion, including health care services,
    medications, and lost productivity.

Critical Issues- State Level
  • Cardiovascular disease- CVD (heart disease
    stoke) is the number one killer of Virginians
  • 14,881 people in Virginia died from heart disease
    and 3,938 died from stroke in 2002 this is more
    than died from cancer, injuries, and diabetes
    combined
  • Planning District 2- Buchanan County, Dickenson
    County, Russell County, and Tazwell County had a
    heart disease death rate of 317 per 100,000
    population- the highest in the state
  • Planning District 1- Lee County, Scott County,
    Wise County, and Norton City had the
    second-highest rate at 278 per 100,000

CVD Deaths and Gender
  • The decline of CVD deaths in Virginia is less for
    women than men - between 1995 and 2002 the number
    of CVD deaths decreased 6 for men but only 1
    for women.
  • Although stroke mortality rates are similar for
    men and women, women are more likely to have a
    stroke at a younger age (40s or 50s) and are more
    likely to die from stroke.
  • Nationally, women account for more than 60 of
    the annual deaths due to stroke, making it the
    second leading cause of death among American
    women.

CVD Deaths and Race/Ethnicity
  • Virginia 2002 age-adjusted CVD mortality rates
    are significantly higher for blacks (384.4) than
    whites (295.3).
  • White females had the highest non-age-adjusted
    CVD mortality rate in 2002 at 306.7 per 100,000
    population, followed secondly by black females at
    282.3.
  • For Hispanics in Virginia, there were only 300
    deaths due to CVD in years 2001 2002, combined.

CVD Deaths and Age
  • In Virginia, about 31 of all CVD deaths were to
    individuals ages 75-84, across gender and race
  • Almost 10 of all CVD deaths were to individuals
    ages 55-64
  • Both white and black females had the highest
    percentage of CVD deaths occurring in the 85 and
    up age range
  • Both white and black males had the highest
    percentage of CVD deaths occurring in the 75-84
    age range
  • About 14.3 of all CVD deaths occurred before age
    55

Total CVD Death Rates by Gender Race
  • In Virginia in 2002, males had a higher
    age-adjusted mortality rate per 100,000
    population than females
  • Both white males and black males had higher
    age-adjusted rates than their female counterparts

    mortality rates

Heart Attack Death Rates by Gender Race
  • In Virginia in 2002, males had a higher
    age-adjusted heart attack mortality rate per
    100,000 population than females
  • Both white males and black males had higher
    age-adjusted heart attack mortality rates than
    their female counterparts

BUT, look at the actual counts for VA for
2002
Females die with greater frequency than males
in every CVD category except heart attack.

Cardiovascular Disease and Diabetes

CVD and Co-morbidity with Diabetes
  • Diabetes is an independent risk factor for
    several types of CVD coronary heart disease,
    stroke, peripheral artery disease,
    cardiomyopathy, and congestive heart failure.
  • People with diabetes are two to four times more
    likely to have a heart attack or stroke than
    people without diabetes.
  • People with diabetes are more likely to die from
    a second heart attack than people with CVD who do
    not suffer from diabetes.

CVD and Co-morbidity with Diabetes
  • Total number of CVD hospital discharges in
    Virginia in 2002 (any diagnosis) was 827,116
  • Of those 827,116 CVD discharges, 29.53 were
    persons with diabetes
  • About 10 of all CVD deaths in Virginia in 2002
    were to people with diabetes
  • A secondary diagnosis of CVD is found in about
    75 of all diabetes-coded deaths.

Where Can One Find Local-level Data?
  • BRFSS sample size is too small to calculate risk
    factor rates by locality (i.e. individual city or
    county)
  • For locality-level rates for some hospital
    discharges and census data (demographic and
    economic) with a mapping program go to
    http//www.vahealthycommunities.com/default.asp,
    and click on Virginia ATLAS of Community Health
    to access the free, ATLAS database
  • For a free mapping program displaying heart
    disease and stroke death rates per locality go
