Projected age- and sex-specific prevalence of cardiovascular diseases in Western Australian adults from 2005-2045

Assuming no major changes in prevention and treatment of CVD, the prevalence will likely increase, with consequent increases in health care need and cost. These findings need to be confirmed by studies in which prevalence is consistently and empirically measured and monitored over time.
