Secular trends in types of cardiovascular disease in the West of Scotland.

For example, a study in Oxfordshire, England, found a declining trend in stroke incidence among people older than 55 years but an increasing trend in younger people. 10 Similarly, another UK study found a declining PAD incidence and prevalence overall and in all age groups studied, except for those aged 50–59 years. 11 Similar trends in IHD and HF incidence were also reported in a UK-wide study. 12 Our findings add to the existing evidence by demonstrating an increasing overall burden in terms of total event rates.
