Sažetak
In the paper is first presented the study of
mortality caused by heart and blood vessels diseases in total,
and by cerebrovascular diseases in men and women, aged
45-75 years, in about 30 European countries. The study was
performed by Sans and his collaborators in the period 1990-
1992. Then follows the epidemiological analysis of general
mortality rates for heart and blood vessels diseases, as well
as for cerebrovascular diseases in Croatia in the period 1985-
1999. Particularly stressed is the fact that cerebrovascular
diseases are the leading cause of death in Croatia, with the
rate of 10.9% of the total mortality of men and with the rate
of 15.8% in the total mortality of women in 1999. After that
is presented the analysis of age standardized mortality rates
of cerebrovascular diseases for Croatia, for countries of Central
and Eastern Europe, and for the whole Europe, for the age
group of 0-64 years, and all ages together. In the presentation
of morbidity, heart and blood vessels diseases are analyzed
as the leading cause of hospitalization in Croatia, where
in the quarter of all cases the cause of hospitalization are
cerebrovascular diseases. Cerebrovascular diseases registered
in the general practice are described as well.
