Scientists have named the most dangerous years of life

Recent studies conducted by the American Texas Health Center and Helsinki University Central Hospital have identified the most dangerous years of life for men and women. Interestingly, these years differ for each gender.

The researchers studied thousands of medical records and tested their hypotheses on thousands of patients aged 15 to 49 years, representing a variety of races, ages and genders. Their goal was to determine the likely period of cardiac dysfunction that could lead to a heart attack or stroke. It turned out that for women, heart disorders often appear before the age of 30, while in men the age of risk shifts by 10 years and appears after 40 years.

Disorders block blood vessels and lead to strokes and heart attacks. Currently, the risk of stroke is the same for middle-aged, mature and elderly men. Smoking and hypertension also increase the risk of heart disease.

One of the factors that increases the risk of heart disease in women is oral contraceptives. Contraceptive use can cause heart attacks in women under 30, especially if they smoke or have other risk factors.

Taking into account the results obtained, doctors recommend starting stroke prevention after reaching 35 years of age. This may include lifestyle changes such as eating a healthy diet, regular exercise and quitting smoking, if any. It is also important to monitor your blood pressure and see a doctor at the first sign of heart problems.

Although the risk of heart disease increases with age, these studies suggest that prevention should begin early in life to reduce the risk of developing serious diseases in the future.
