INTRODUCTION
This report was prepared by the Texas Department of Health, Bureau of Disease, Injury and Tobacco Prevention to monitor outcomes for cardiovascular disease and stroke and associated medical and behavioral risk factors. It is a subset of a larger report on chronic disease conditions in Texas.
Chronic disease conditions are the major cause of illness, disability, and death in Texas as well as in the United States today. Despite broad public awareness of specific life-threatening diseases such as cancer and heart disease, most people are still not aware that, collectively, chronic disease conditions account for three out of every four deaths in Texas and the United States.
Chronic diseases are defined by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as those diseases that are prolonged, do not resolve spontaneously, and for which a complete cure is rarely achieved. The Texas Department of Health's Bureau of Disease and Injury Prevention monitors diseases that : a) fit this broad definition of chronic diseases; b) that are preventable; and c) pose a significant burden in mortality, morbidity, and cost. For this report, we chose to include the following chronic diseases: ischemic heart disease, stroke, lung cancer, breast cancer, cervical cancer, colo-rectal cancer and diabetes mellitus.
Demographics According to the U.S. Census estimates for
1996, Texas has the third largest African American population and the second largest Hispanic population among all states. Compared to the state's white population, a large proportion of the Texas African American and Hispanic populations have social, economic, or other factors that place them at increased risk for developing illness and experiencing premature death.
Leading Causes of Death Because of the changing nature of illness and
death, Americans are no longer dying from the same diseases as they did in previous generations. Given the limits of medical and public health knowledge of this century, Americans frequently died at young ages from infectious and parasitic diseases. In 1900, pneumonia and influenza, tuberculosis and gastritis, enteritis and colitis were the three leading causes of death, accounting for nearly one-third of all deaths. As sanitation, nutrition, and living conditions improved and medical technology advanced, deaths from infectious diseases declined steadily and children and young adults survived longer. While deaths from infectious diseases have decreased, deaths from chronic conditions have increased. Today, heart disease, cancer, and stroke are the three leading causes of death, accounting for almost two-thirds of all deaths.
Preventable Causes of Death The figure in the opposite page shows that to-
bacco use is the most preventable cause of premature death in Texas, accounting for more than 26,000 lost lives in 1995 ----- more than alcohol, auto accidents, AIDS, drugs, suicides, homicides and fires combined. Tobacco use contributes substantially to deaths from cancer (especially cancers of the lung, esophagus, oral cavity, pancreas, kidney and bladder), cardiovascular disease (ischemic heart disease, stroke and high blood pressure) and lung disease (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease).
The content of this report provides information on cardiovascular diseases and stroke, its risk factors and trends over time. Data from this report contribute to the planning and implementation of strategies that will improve the health of all Texans.
