| Summary: | <p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>To assess whether a banking system crisis increases short-term population cardiovascular mortality rates.</p> <p>Methods</p> <p>International, longitudinal multivariate regression analysis of cardiovascular disease mortality data from 1960 to 2002</p> <p>Results</p> <p>A system-wide banking crisis increases population heart disease mortality rates by 6.4% (95% CI: 2.5% to 10.2%, p < 0.01) in high income countries, after controlling for economic change, macroeconomic instability, and population age and social distribution. The estimated effect is nearly four times as large in low income countries.</p> <p>Conclusion</p> <p>Banking crises are a significant determinant of short-term increases in heart disease mortality rates, and may have more severe consequences for developing countries.</p> |
