Do only men get heart diseases? Can women get heart diseases?
Heart disease 💔 is the leading cause of death for both men and women 👨👩👧👦, but men are more likely to develop it at a younger age.
Some risk factors for heart disease 🫀 are common to both men and women, such as:
• High blood pressure
• High cholesterol
• Smoking
• Diabetes
However, men are also more likely to have:
• Low testosterone levels
• A family history of heart disease
Women are also more likely to have:
• Pregnancy complications
• Menopause
After menopause, the risk of heart disease in women becomes almost equal to men.
To reduce your risk of heart disease, you can do the following:
• Eat a healthy diet
• Exercise regularly
• Quit smoking
• Manage stress
• Maintain a healthy weight
• Get regular checkups from your doctor
If you are concerned about your risk of heart disease, talk to your doctor. 👩⚕️👨⚕️
