n number of studies, CVD cardiovascular disease, ASMR age standardized mortality rate (ASMR) per 100,000. Random effect model applied pool estimate of ASMR, 95% CI = 95% confident interval of estimated ASMR

atotal CVD death was based on ICD -10 code: I00-I99 or ICD-9 codes: 350–459

bIschemic heart disease (IHD) death based on ICD-10 (I20-I25) or ICD-9 (410–414)

cCerebrovascular disease or stroke death based on ICD-10 (I60-I69) or ICD-9 (430–438)

dOther types of CVD death including heart disease (ICD-10: I00-I09, I11, I13, I20- I51), heart failure (ICD-10: I50) and cardiac death ICD-10 (I21, I25, I40, I34, I35, I42, I45-I49, R96, Q20-Q24, Q87)

eAccording to World Bank’s classification. HICs = high income countries, MICs = middle-income counties (including upper middle-income countries and low middle-income countries)
