Nowadays most deaths are due to heart disease and stroke. Now the question is ending as to which people are in greater danger. Because men and women of all ages are becoming its victims. However, women have a greater chance of avoiding it.
According to a recently published study, the risk of heart attack, stroke and heart-related diseases in women can be estimated with the help of 3 tests. The study included data from about 28,000 people.
3 tests for heart health
The study identified three key biomarkers, including low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, lipoprotein (a) or Lp(a), and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP), which indicate inflammation. .
Importance of Biomarkers
Levels of LDL, Lp(a), and CRP were measured. Elevated levels of these biomarkers are associated with a 2.6-fold increased risk of cardiovascular events in women.
Relationship between inflammation and cholesterol
Inflammation and high cholesterol levels increase the risk of heart disease. At the same time, high levels of CRP can be due to many reasons such as obesity or genetics.
Lifestyle and Risks
High LDL cholesterol and Lp(a) levels are lifestyle related, but may also be genetic in some cases. It is clear that the risk can be reduced by adopting a healthy lifestyle.
should be checked at this age
Researchers believe that monitoring heart health should start at the age of 30 to 40. The risk of heart-related problems can be reduced by regular checkups and adopting a healthy lifestyle.
