N2 - Advances in medical technology and changes in lifestyle have likely affected the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors and thereby the incidence and mortality of cardiovascular disease (CVD). While Western populations have been characterized by a higher risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) than stroke, Japanese have had a much higher risk of stroke than CHD. This article introduces the data from two population-based prospective studies, the Framingham Heart Study in the United States and the Hisayama Study in Japan, and the meta-analysis data from the Global Burden of Disease studies, which examined the secular trends in CVD.
