US News - Fatal heart disease in the United States dropped about 4% a year between 1990 and 2019, but Americans need to quit smoking, drinking and overeating or those gains could be wiped out, according to new research. The declining rates of fatal heart disease have stalled, according to the research from Rutgers University-New Brunswick in New Jersey.....Among people ages 25 to 84, deaths from heart disease fell from more than 397,000 deaths in 1990 to about 237,000 in 2019, even while Americans’ median age increased from 33 to 38, the researchers found. Among men, the death rate dropped 3.7% a year, while women saw a 4% annual decline during those years. Those declines, however, slowed significantly between 2011 and 2019. People born after 1980 were even at slightly increased risk of dying from coronary heart disease at any age than people from the previous generation, the researchers said.
