Women Heart Health
Men and women are very different when it comes to matters of the heart, and that’s just as true for matters of heart health. While heart disease is on the decline among men, it is continuously rising among women. It’s the number one killer of women over 35 worldwide, accounting for more deaths every year than all cancers combined. Women with diabetes generally have higher CVD mortality rates than men with diabetes. Women engaged in physical activity for less than an hour per week have 1.48 times the risk of developing coronary heart disease, comparing to the women who do more than three hours of physical activity per week. Go Red for Women is a major international awareness campaign that is dedicated to the prevention, diagnosis and control of heart disease and stroke in women.
