"The UK’s heart health has declined more quickly at the start of the 2020s than in any other decade for over 50 years, we've warned today.
New analysis shows there has been a rise in the rate and number of deaths in working-age adults aged 20-64 from cardiovascular disease in the UK.
The rate rose to 55 deaths per 100,000 in 2023 from 49 per 100,000 in 2019 – the first sustained increase in at least a generation. Deaths in working age adults rose by 18 per cent, from 18,693 in 2019, to 21,975 in 2023, averaging 420 a week.
This worrying trend follows decades of progress to nearly halve annual deaths from conditions like heart attack and stroke since the 1960s, which BHF-funded research, medical advances, and falling smoking rates helped to drive."
