75% of women don't make healthful lifestyle choices.(Abstract)
2002 OCT 10 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Across the country, women are finding it harder and harder to maintain healthy lifestyles.
A survey conducted in June 2002 by the American Heart Association revealed that 75% of women do not make healthful choices when it comes to diet and exercise. Physical inactivity and poor nutrition choices contribute to the development of cardiovascular disease, the No. 1 killer of women.
"Studies have shown that women realize what it takes to reduce their risk for heart disease and want to reduce that risk, but they often aren't equipped with the tools they need to help them do so," said Rose Marie Robertson, MD, director of the Vanderbilt Women's Heart Institute and past American Heart Association president.
As a result, the American Heart Association is launching Simple Solutions, a free educational program sponsored by the California Walnut Commission that is designed to help women learn how to make simple lifestyle changes to reduce their risk of heart disease and stroke.
