The proportion of people dying from heart disease is increasing among young people

A recent study has shown that more and more women under 45 die of heart disease due to arterial clogging, while the mortality rate in men in this age group still shows no signs of increasing.

Cardiologists are not sure that things are getting worse, but they argue that the rate of obesity increases and some other risks are also the cause of the disease.

Wayne Rosamond, a professor of epidemiology and a heart disease researcher at a university in North Carolina, said: 'This ratio will be counted to see if this is the beginning of a trend. really. But if that is the case, the new study could be a predictor of the 'escalating' effect of obesity and diabetes on American deaths. '

Rosamond said: 'This may be a signal of things to come'. To confirm this fact, it is necessary to look back on the fact: From 1980 to 2002, the arterial death rate was reduced to half of those over the age of 35. Progress in Treatment and preventive measures, including drugs that lower blood cholesterol levels, have produced positive results.

Dr. Anthony DeMaria, editor of a cardiovascular specialist at the US College, which published the study, said what is happening to young people is very worrying .

Maria said: 'We need to have an optimistic view of developments in the fight against cardiovascular disease. I see the article as a wake-up call that a part of the population has an important influence in society that needs more attention - it's adults' . Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the US, causing the deaths of nearly 700,000 Americans each year.

Nearly 500,000 of those deaths are thought to be the result of heart attack, which is caused by obesity and tartar disease, resulting in blockage of the arteries that interfere with blood supply to the heart, sometimes called Arteriosclerosis. Usually its results are heart attacks.

It may take several decades for arteries to experience problems because 93% of deaths occur at age 55 and older.

But a combination of factors including genetics, obesity and high blood cholesterol are sometimes the causes of death among young people . In 2002, about 25,000 men and 8,000 women aged 35 to 54 died of heart attack.

This study was conducted at the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Liverpool University of England. They looked at the statistics of deaths associated with arterial diseases in people aged 35 and older in the 1980s and 2002s, in recent years when the analysis was done, the information was ready to publish.When comparing between age groups, they notice worrisome differences. Mortality rates among women aged 35 to 44 tend to increase from 1997 to 2002 (8.2% per 100,000 people), the highest since 1987.

According to statistics, the number of female deaths at this age has increased to nearly 100. That has little effect on the US population.

Dr Wayne Giles, CDC's head of adult and community health research, said the results are still statistically significant and should be properly addressed. He compared it to the number of MD-88 aircraft accidents every year, a medium-class jet. That percentage in men between the ages of 35 and 44 has not changed much in the last few years of the study. This rate in 2002 was 26 deaths per 100,000 men in this age group.

Dr Earl Ford of CDC, co-author of the study, said: "In fact, the mortality rate in men does not worsen, requiring doctors to be alert to heart disease in men of that age. is in women.

At all ages, the mortality rate for women began to decrease from 514 to 261 per 100,000 people, for men from 898 to 430 per 100,000 people.
