Sažetak
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death in Croatia with the highest mortality rate among European Mediterranean countries, with significant regional differences. The hypothesis is that technological advances and transition changes have diminished the impact of Mediterranean lifestyle in Croatia, a country that has one third of its territory and one quarter of the population living in the Mediterranean area. Among Croatian counties, the lowest rates have been recorded in coastal areas (Šibenik-Knin County 264, 3) and the highest among continental counties - such as Virovitica-Podravina County (475, 4/100, 000). Over the last ten years we have seen a continuing downward trend in mortality caused by CVD, which is more pronounced for cerebrovascular diseases, than for ishemic heart disease and especially for 0-64 age group, but CVD are still the major cause of mortality and morbidity. We concluded that in the coastal counties the mortality rate of CVD is lower than in the continental, and probable cause is still the Mediterranean way of life in the coastal area. Public health needs to invest more efforts in preventing cardiovascular diseases in Croatia.
