Critical Heart Truths for Women - Attention Women of Color

 The National Heart Lungs & Blood Institute (NHLBI), the NIH and various other women-based organizations are conducting a national campaign to tell women the truth about Heart Disease. At OneWorld we have culled much of the information for you in one convenient place.  Please give yourself the gift of time and good health.  Get Informed!  Knowledge is truly POWER!  Also visit OneWorld’s Health Section; watch some of our video clips and browse our informative Women’s Resources Center at: http://www.oneworldpi.org/womens_resources/womens_resources.html  Also see Symptoms of Heart Problems in Women at: http://youtu.be/EDviuNG-cek

  •  Heart disease kills more women age 65 years and older than all cancers combined.

  •  Heart disease is the leading cause of death for women age 65 years and older

  • It is the second-leading cause of death for women age 45 to 64 years.
  •  And it’s the third-leading cause of death for women age 25 to 44 years

 Women under the age of 65 years who have a family history of heart disease should pay  particularly close attention to their heart disease risk factors.

  Still, all women, of all ages, should take heart disease seriously.
