Sophia Antipolis, February 10, 2021: A nationwide US study has found increasing death rates from heart disease in women under 65. The research is published in
European Heart Journal – Quality of Care and Clinical Outcomes, a journal of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC).
1 The study found that while death rates from cancer declined every year between 1999 and 2018, after an initial drop, heart disease death rates have been rising since 2010.
“Young women in the US are becoming less healthy, which is now reversing prior improvements in heart disease deaths,” said senior author Dr. Erin Michos of Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, US. “With worsening epidemics of diabetes and obesity across developed countries, our findings are a warning sign that we need to pay more attention to the health of young women.”
