GOOD STUFF TO KNOW YOUR HEART HEALTH: KNOW THE RISK FACTORS FOR HEART DISEASE
Just because you’re not considered at risk of a heart attack or a stroke in middle age doesn’t mean your lifetime risk is low, a new study confirms. “Early life decisions we make can have a significant impact on the rest of our lives—and heart healthy choices are no different,” said the study’s lead author Dr. Jarett Berry. “What determines your heart disease risk when you are 70 or 80 is what your risk factors are when you’re 40.” “The risk factors we develop in younger and middle ages are going to determine our heart disease risk across our lifetime.” There are a number of things that put one at risk for heart disease, but the four factors the study looked at were: • high blood pressure • poor cholesterol levels • diabetes • smoking The researchers found that while having one or two of these risk factors might mean a low risk of heart disease in the short term, that risk can become very high in the long term—up to 10 times the that of those without risk factors. The study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, is the first to look at the lifetime risk of heart disease in men and women of many races born in different decades. It tracked more than 250,000 particpants over 50 years, measuring for the four key heart disease risk factors at ages 45, 55, 65 and 75 years. Visit www.ctv.ca/health for more details about this study and its results. For more information about heart health, including risk factors to watch for and hearthealthy steps to take now, visit the Heart and Stoke Foundation at www.heartandstroke.com.
