CHAPTER 3.2 124 decline amongst women was noticeable in those aged above 65 years, the incidence for those in the 80 - <85 age group has, in contrast to men, grown higher in 2016 compared to 2007 (difference in incidence = 532.5 – 445.3 = +87.2 cases per 100 000). A separate figure contrasting this difference in different ethnic groups was also included in the supplementary material (Supplementary figure 2) We found that decreases in age-standardised incidence of HF hospitalization with calendar year differed by ethnicity (Fig 4). Only the Indians exhibited a significant annual decrease of 3% (p-value = 0.049) in HF hospitalization compared to the other ethnicities. Within each ethnic subgroup, men had distinctly higher incidence than women. The exception was for Indians, where the women had similar crude incidence and trends as their male counterparts (Supplementary figure 3).
