Values are numbers (95% CIs). Numbers of life-years gained are cumulative from 2015 to 2030. MMC “decaying impact” models refer to a 1-y MMC. Data are stratified by CVD subtype and sex. Results are rounded to the nearest 100. CAD, coronary artery disease; CVD, cardiovascular disease; MMC, mass media campaign.
