"Also, although the risk of future hard cardiovascular events remains higher in midlife men compared with midlife women, the gap has narrowed in recent years."

And, "Greater emphasis on vascular risk factor control in midlife women might help mitigate this worrisome trend.” [Abstract]

According to the October 27, 2009 Los Angeles Times article Rates of heart attacks increasing for middle-age women, “Researchers suspect increases in obesity [in women] are to blame for the 'ominous trend.'”

The lead author in the study, Dr. Amytis Towfighi, stated that there is presently "… an ominous trend in cardiovascular health among midlife women.”

Dr. Towfighi added, “People didn't think that women in that age group were at high risk for heart disease and stroke."

She comments, "But I suspect that with growing rates of obesity, women aren't as protected as much as they have been in the past."
