Days after Luke Perry’s death at 52 from a stroke, a new study on heart-attack rates has another grim reminder that the young are far from invincible
— and maybe even more vulnerable than they used to be.
The researchers tried to unearth the risk factors explaining the rise and said substance abuse might share part of the blame. The youngest patients were more likely to use marijuana and cocaine compared to slightly older counterparts, even if they drank less alcohol. Although some heart attack patients were younger, they had the same risks of subsequent death from a repeat heart attack or stroke as patients in their 40s.
The authors of the current findings said fewer heart attacks are happening in America, thanks to statins and less smoking, and that’s in spite of the country’s obesity epidemic. Nevertheless, the upward trend for the younger demographics was troubling.
