چکیده
The mortality from CVD has decreased over the past few decades at a faster pace than the OECD average, reaching 204 per 100 000 population in 2012, 32% lower than the OECD average of 299 in 2011 (Figure 1). Likewise, potential years of life lost, a commonly used measure of premature mortality, at 369 per 100 000 population for diseases of the circulatory system in 2011, is 36% lower than the OECD average of 581 (by using the age limit of 70). The reported prevalence of diabetes is also low at 6.5%, compared to an OECD average of 6.9%. The number of patients with end-stage kidney failure (ESKF), often caused by diabetes and hypertension, at 114 per 100 000 population, is higher than the OECD average of 101.
