Figure 1.
Age‐adjusted mortality rates from CHD for adults aged ≥25 years, United States. Results were generated with WONDER using the Compressed Mortality File of the National Vital Statistics System. For the period 1979–1999, International Classification of Diseases 9 codes 410‐414 and 429.2 were used. For 2000–2009, International Classification of Diseases codes I20‐O25 were used. Results were age‐adjusted to the projected year 2000 US population. CHD indicates coronary heart disease.
