Analysing the impact of modifiable risk factors on cardiovascular disease mortality in Brazil
Fig 2
Associations between SEV for risk factors and mortality rates for (A) cardiovascular diseases, (B) ischaemic stroke, and (C) ischaemic heart disease for men and women in Brazil. Variables included in the model: doctors per 1,000 habitants, hospital beds per 1,000 habitants, coverage of primary care, Bolsa Família transfer, GDP per capita, state and year fixed effects and SEV of risk factors. Mortality and SEV were per 100,000 individuals. Estimates and 95% confidence intervals (CI) are provided in the figure. SBP: systolic blood pressure. LDL: low-density lipoprotein. BMI: body mass index.
