Joinpoint regression analysis for NRVHD in women.

* Each point represents the average annual percent change for each year; the color of the points represents the global situation compared to different Socio-Demographic Index regions.

Figure 3

APC model results for NRVHD and its subtype.

* Figure ABC represents the Annual Percent Change results for NRVHD. Figure DEF represents the APC results for NRAVD. Figure GHI represents the APC results for NRMVD. Figure ADG illustrates period effects, reflecting the risk ratios compared to a reference year. Figure BEH shows Longitudinal Age Curves, which depict the longitudinal distribution characteristics of the disease by age. Figure CFI reflects the cross-sectional age distribution observed annually in each study.

Figure 4

Decomposition Analysis and Future Prediction Models in Female Patients with NRVHD.

* Figure ABC presents the decomposition analysis results, where Figure A represents NRVHD, Figure B represents NRAVD, and Figure C represents NRMVD. The black dots in the figures represent the results of the three influencing factors. Figure DE shows the prediction analysis results: Figure D reflects the incidence rates of NRVHD and its subtypes up to 2046, with lines representing the changes in age-standardized incidence rates. Figure E displays the predicted future trends of total NRVHD occurrences across different Socio-Demographic Index regions.
