Public Health Service, Washington, D.C: U.S. Government Printing Office. Age-adjusted death rates due to cerebrovascular disease (or stroke) are lower in Utah than the nation (Table 24, Figure 20). Death rates have declined substantially for cerebrovascular disease since 1980 for both Utah and the U.S. The declines are leveling off, however, and the difference between Utah and the nation is narrowing. High blood pressure contributes to cerebrovascular disease and can be reduced by preventive care programs, and when it exists, better managed by primary care. Community health programs can help screen people for high blood pressure.
