Estimating the number of CHD deaths in 2010
Scenario 1: Simply assuming population ageing between 1999 and 2010
Scenario 2: Continuation in recent risk factor trends between 1999 and 2010

Results
Changes in the population structure between 1999 and 2010
Estimated CHD deaths in 2010
Scenario 1: Simply due to demographic changes
Scenario 2: Based on the current risk factor trends
Scenario 3: Optimistic assumption: small reductions in risk factors
