ORIGINAL: Wayward5oul No Greta, Heart disease is the #1 cause of death among women. Its just that it presents differently in women than it does in men. Since educating doctors on diagnosing it is based on studies done on heart disease among men, then heart disease among women was being misdiagnosed. As a result, there is a big push now to study it properly in the context of women and presentation, as it differs from that of men. See Lucy's links in her response to rm. I think that is absolutely not true. I literally do not know a single female in my life that died from heart diseases. Zero none! It's like so rare! It's always cancer. But every men I knew that died, is always heart disease. Or currently already suffering from some kind of problem that puts them at risk of heart attack. That study might be US focus, perhaps because of US specific diet and high obesity rate. But in Asian diet, eating the same healthier things, both genders, Men die from heart disease, women die from cancer. Just look at this. White and Black woman seem to die of heart disease as number 1 killer. But Asian and Hispanic and Native American women die from Cancer as number 1 killer. So this is just a white and black women thingy and gotta do with their diet. Personally I think we are all dying of cancer here because we eat made in china food, which are probably all toxic but cheap and affordable. https://www.cdc.gov/women/lcod/2013/index.htm Considering that the article came from USA Today, and linked to info from the American Heart Association, then yes, it was probably US based. The whole article was US focused, Greta. That is the demographic being studied and discussed. And in that demographic, heart disease is #1, for men and women.
