March, 2006 Hit 50 with few Risk Factors- for a longer life It is said that healthy ageing begins long before your hit old age. Those hoping to live long and healthy life should aim to reach age 50 with as few risk factors for heart disease and stroke as possible.
Without these Risk Factors - may drastically reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease and add 10 yrs your life. According to Howard Cooper, associate director of Coronary Care unit at Washington Hospital Center – Prevention of heart disease needs to begin very early in life because by middle age most of the risk factors are already established. The need is to focus on young adults, even teens and to create a life style that will prevent cardiovascular diseases to develop or keep them from developing. These finding were published in the journal Circulation this month. These are the results from the Framingham Heart Study which began in 1948 and is run by National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute. This study supports the notion that aggressively treating the cardiovascular diseases risk factors is the best approach to prevent the development of fully developed cardiovascular disease and for a long healthy life. |
