Total mortality rates and coronary heart disease (CHD) mortality rates are declining in the USA. Accordingly, the oldest individuals (85+ years) comprise the fastest growing segment of the population. How do these declines in mortality apply to and re-apportion other age groups? We examined trends in CHD mortality for the USA population over 25 years of age, focusing on changes occurring among individuals 65-74 and 75-84 years of age.
