Overview

Analysis reveals increasing CVD mortality rates related to obesity in various populations, highlighting urgent needs.

Key Points

  • Cardiovascular disease mortality rates rose significantly in the U.S. from 1999 to 2020, driven by obesity.
  • Age-adjusted mortality rates increased from 2.75 to 8.36 per 100,000, with a notable acceleration post-2018.
  • National trends were analyzed using death certificates from the CDC WONDER database covering ages 15–84 years.
  • Findings emphasize the growing obesity-related CVD burden and highlight disparities by age, sex, and geography.
