NEW YORK, June 5 — New research has found that women appear to have a lower risk of developing and dying from cardiovascular disease than men. The researchers collected data from the participants that included their sociodemographic characteristics, CVD risk factors, medication use and any lifestyle interventions they had tried. The women had an average age of 50.8 at the start of the study and the men 51.7, and all were followed for a median of 9.5 years., showed that the women had fewer risk factors for CVD, including lower blood pressure levels and healthier blood fat levels.
The team also found that treatments such as coronary revascularisation, which is the widening of blocked or narrowed coronary arteries, were carried out less frequently on women. However, despite this, women still had a lower risk of having another CVD event than men and were less likely to die within 30 days of an event.
