Abstract

During the past three decades cardiovascular disease has been the primary cause of death in the western world. Mortality due to cardiovascular disease was highest in the late 1980s, claiming over 50 000 deaths in the Netherlands each year (>40% of total mortality). From 1985 onwards, however, mortality due to cardiovascular diseases gradually decreased, whereas mortality due to cancer became more prominent.
