2006 NHLBI Incidence and Prevalence Chartbook

The purpose of this chart book is to present largely unpublished estimates of incidence and prevalence from six community cohort studies and one surveillance study sponsored by the NHLBI: Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Cohort Study, Cardiovascular Health Study (CHS), Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA), Framingham Heart Study (FHS), Multi- Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA), Strong Heart Study (SHS), and ARIC Surveillance. These studies comprise 23 defined communities.

This year, the NHLBI is providing two PDF versions of the Chart Book: our standard PDF file that will print out like the printed version, and a PDF file created with improved accessibility for visitors who use screen readers.
