The American Heart Association projects a rise in cardiovascular disease driven by increasing high blood pressure, obesity, and diabetes, with disproportionate impact on women of color.
- Nearly 6 in 10 women in the U.S. will have some type of cardiovascular disease in the next 25 years, according to a new scientific statement published in Circulation, the peer-reviewed journal of the American Heart Association.
- The report points to significant increases among women for all types of cardiovascular disease, including heart disease, heart failure, atrial fibrillation and stroke, as well as surges in major contributing health factors like high blood pressure, obesity and diabetes.
- By age groups, nearly a third of all women 22-44 years old will have some type of CVD, compared to less than 1 in 4 currently, with diabetes rates for this age group more than doubling from 6% to nearly 16%, and over a third having high blood pressure, an increase of more than 11%.
