Age-standardized mortality rates (ASMR) and trends for IHD from 1990 to 2021 in 204 countries and territories. (A) and (B) show the ASMR (per 100,000 population) in 1990 and 2021, respectively. (C) presents the estimated annual percentage change (EAPC) of ASMR (% per year) by country, and (D) illustrates the net drift of ASMR (% per year) over the study period.

Age, period, and cohort effects on IHD mortality rates from 1990 to 2021 in different SDI regions and across both sexes. (A) shows the local drifts (% per year) by age group, (B) illustrates the age effects (mortality rates per 100,000 population), (C) presents the period effects (log2 mortality rate ratios over time), and (D) depicts the cohort effects (log2 mortality rate ratios by birth cohort). Each panel includes data for both sexes, males, and females.

Relationship between the SDI and ASMR for IHD from 1990 to 2021. The top panel shows ASMR (per 100,000 population) against SDI for 204 countries and territories. The bottom panel displays the effective difference trend line, indicating the gap between observed and potentially achievable ASMR in 2021 across the same countries and territories.
