1. Figure 1 Proactive and reactive prevention of cardiovascular disease
Figure 1 | Proactive and reactive prevention of cardiovascular disease. Cardiovascular mortality across the lifespan (part a) and over time across different regions of the world (part b), illustrating the concept of proactive prevention as opposed to reactive prevention. Proactive prevention is possible during periods of relatively low cardiovascular disease burden, both for individuals (at earlier ages) as well as for societies (at earlier stages of socioeconomic development). Data-derived visualization generated from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation. EN, early neonatal; PN, post neonatal; SDI, sociodemographic index.
