The Burden of Blood-Pressure-Related Cardiovascular Mortality in Mexico

Table 3

Number and distribution of cardiovascular deaths attributable to above optimal systolic blood pressure (SBP), by age and SBP category in the population of Mexico aged 50 and over in 2010.

Number	30706 (100)	16161 (100)	11029 (100)	57896 (100)
% of total CVD	47.0	54.7	42.9	48.0

Total: sum of related deaths over all age groups or all SBP categories, for each cardiovascular disease (CVD) type and for all CVD together. % of total CVD: percentage of all cardiovascular deaths registered in the population of Mexico over 50 that were attributable to higher-than-optimal blood pressure (SBP ≥ 120 mmHg). Other cardiovascular disease: heart failure, hypertensive disease, atherosclerosis, sudden death, rheumatic heart disease, and pulmonary embolism.
