This study examines trends in cardiovascular disease (CVD) diagnoses and associated risk factors among active duty U.S. service members from 2016 to 2021. Utilizing data from the Defense Medical Epidemiology Database (DMED), the research identified that while most CVD diagnoses decreased during this period, cases of angina and inappropriate diet increased. The authors also found significant demographic disparities, with certain groups like older, married, Black, and higher-ranking service members exhibiting higher rates of CVD and related risk factors. The paper suggests that existing interventions may be effective but highlights the need for more tailored screening and prevention strategies for at-risk populations.
