Mortality rate per 100,000 population
Circulatory disease
Circulatory disease (which includes conditions such as heart disease, stroke, hypertension)
is the second biggest killer <strong>of</strong> local people. In 2011, 25.1% <strong>of</strong> all deaths in <strong>Stoke</strong>-on-Trent
were from circulatory disease (compared with 32.0% in England).
Mortality rates in the city from circulatory disease (among people aged under 75) continue to
fall and at a much faster rate compared with England, which means the gap in the rate
continues to reduce between <strong>Stoke</strong>-on-Trent and England (figure 6). The current 2008-2010
rate <strong>of</strong> 81.0 (per 100,000 population) is the lowest it has been since 1995-1997.
