New report highlights the urgent need for increased awareness and prevention measures.
Nesas Hemp, a leader in the hemp wellness industry, has released a comprehensive report shedding light on the global state of heart diseases, with a focus on gender disparities in mortality rates. The findings reveal that while heart diseases are more commonly diagnosed in men, women face a significantly higher risk of dying from these conditions.
Heart Disease by the Numbers
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), coronary artery disease (CAD) remains the most common type of heart disease worldwide. Despite its prevalence in men, data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) indicates that women are at a higher risk of death and often have a less favorable outlook for recovery after diagnosis.
Key statistics from the report include:
- Global Mortality: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death globally, responsible for approximately 17.9 million deaths each year (WHO).
- Coronary Heart Disease (CAD): Around 200 million people live with coronary heart disease worldwide, with approximately 110 million men and 80 million women affected (British Heart Foundation).
- U.S. Impact: In 2021, about 695,000 people in the U.S. died from heart disease, accounting for 1 in every 5 deaths (CDC). On average, one person dies from cardiovascular disease every 33 seconds.
- Heart Attack Incidence: Someone in the U.S. suffers a heart attack every 40 seconds, with an estimated 805,000 individuals affected annually (CDC).
- Age Factor: Adults aged 75 and older face a higher likelihood of heart disease compared to younger age groups (CDC).
The Gender Gap in Heart Disease
Despite heart diseases being more prevalent in men, women have a greater risk of fatal outcomes when diagnosed with these conditions. This disparity underscores the need for gender-specific research, prevention, and treatment strategies to improve survival rates and quality of life for women affected by heart diseases.
“Heart disease is not just a man’s issue; it’s a global crisis that affects millions of women, often with more severe consequences,” said Inesa Ponomariovaite, founder and CEO of Nesas Hemp. “Raising awareness and investing in gender-sensitive healthcare approaches is essential in our fight against this devastating condition.”
