Abstract:Background: Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of death in Germany.

Annual percentage changes (APC) and average annual percentage changes (AAPC) were estimated using joinpoint regression analysis.Results: Between 1998 and 2023, the average annual change in age-standardised CHD mortality rates for women was -3.9 % ((-4.1) – (-3.7)) per year, compared with -3.2 % ((-3.3) – (-3.0)) for men. …
