February is Heart-Health Month in Dallas GA

For a long while it was thought that men were more affected by heart disease than women. In the past women were not studied in much of the research. One early study was done on soldiers in the Korean war.  Another study claimed that men who took aspirin had fewer heart attacks. These two studies had one serious flaw – neither included women. The Farmington study followed a group of men and women to determine the causes of cardiovascular disease. This study linked cigarette smoking to heart problems.  In 1960, men were almost twice as likely to smoke as women. Today, heart disease is the leading killer of both men and women. In the United States, deaths caused by heart disease fell by almost 60% between 1950 and the year 2000. Lifestyle and smoking cessation are responsible for a great deal of the reduced heart disease.  Obesity, physical activity, alcohol abuse, diabetes, and many other factors can increase your risk
