Figure 2 Trends in Age-Specific Mortality Rates From Coronary Heart Disease

Among adults age 35 to 44 years, the mortality rate from coronary heart disease changed little among women (squares) since the late 1980s and showed evidence of leveling off in more recent years among men (triangles). Among adults age 45 to 54 years, the rate of decline in the mortality rate from coronary heart disease slowed around 1990 in both men and women.
