Brief Summary:
The latest available data from the Department of Health of Abu Dhabi show that cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death among both the non-national and national populations of the emirate of Abu Dhabi. This trend has not improved over time despite concerted efforts. Particularly striking is that cardiovascular disease was listed as the cause of death in over 39% of those over the age of 45. In those aged over 60 years of age, this causes more deaths than the combined effect of the second, third and fourth leading causes of death, cancer, respiratory diseases, and infectious disease, respectively.
