"A new scientific statement published in Circulation, the peer reviewed flagship journal of the American Heart Association, projects that nearly 6 in 10 women in the United States will be living with some form of cardiovascular disease (CVD) within the next 25 years."
"Almost one in three women ages 22 to 44 are expected to have some form of cardiovascular disease, compared with fewer than one in four today."
"By 2050, nearly 32% of girls ages 2 to 19 may have obesity, raising concerns about earlier and longer lasting heart health challenges."
Cardiovascular disease among women is projected to increase dramatically over the next 25 years according to the American Heart Association. By 2050, nearly 60% of women in the United States could have high blood pressure, up from approximately 50% in 2020. Young adult women ages 22 to 44 face particularly concerning trends, with almost one in three expected to develop some form of cardiovascular disease compared to fewer than one in four today. Rising rates of diabetes and obesity are primary drivers of this increase. Additionally, nearly 32% of girls ages 2 to 19 may have obesity by 2050, creating earlier and longer-lasting heart health challenges across generations.
