We present morbidity data and calculate UK and other estimates from studies which give the widest coverage in terms of age, sex, geographical location, and social deprivation and which use validated and reliable methods of data collection. Much of the data presented here have not been presented elsewhere. More detailed statistics on CHD morbidity and explanations of the strengths and weaknesses of the data sources on which estimates are calculated can be found in the Coronary heart disease statistics: Morbidity supplement.
There are no morbidity targets for England, Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland.
