AMERICANS #1 KILLER

Heart Disease: Americans #1 Killer
C a r d i ovascular disease kills one American every 33 seconds -
nearly a million people a year. One in 5 people already has
some form of cardiovascular disease (CVD), w h i ch incl u d e s
high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, stroke, congestive
heart failure and congenital defects.
The American Heart Association lists five key risk factors
for CVD:


SMOKING
ä According to the World Health Organization, one year after
quitting, the risk of heart disease drops by 50%. Within 15
ye a rs, the risk of dying from heart disease for an ex-smoke r
is similar to a nonsmoker.
CHOLESTROL
ä About 40,000,000 American adults have total blood
cholesterol levels of 240 mg/dL or above - considered
high risk.
ä About 10% of children ages 12 - 19 have total cholesterol
levels greater than 200 mg/dL - considered borderline
high risk.
ä A 10% reduction in cholesterol levels may result in an
estimated 20% reduction in the incidence of heart disease.
PHYSICAL INACTIVITY
ä The increased risk of heart disease associated with
inactivity is comparable to that for high cholesterol, high
blood pressure or cigarette smoking.
ä Less active, less fit people have a 30-50% greater risk of
developing high blood pressure.
Overweight/Obesity
ä Nearly 60% of American adults are overweight and 25%
are obese.
ä Obesity raises blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels;
increases blood pressure; and can induce diabetes.
DIABETES
ä 16 million Americans suffer from Type II diabetes and
two-thirds will die from some form of heart or blood
vessel disease.
