abstract = {Rural-urban disparities in cause-specific mortality in the USA have been reported for a variety of chronic conditions, including substance misuse, suicides, and organ system diseases. This has been on the backdrop of the well-documented phenomenon of rural areas characteristically experiencing worse health and higher mortality rates compared to urban areas. Studies have attributed this to regional socioeconomic deprivation, less access to healthcare, and reduced awareness in rural compared to urban areas. For cardiovascular disease, studies have noted the CVD-related mortality rates in the US declined in the first decade of the 21st century, followed by a plateau.},
