Study Finds 1 in 13 Young Adults Has Hidden Atherosclerosis
A recent study in the Netherlands revealed that cardiovascular problems often begin decades before symptoms appear. It showed that more than half of the asymptomatic participants had chronic atherosclerosis, the main cause of global heart disease deaths. The study found that one in every 13 individuals aged 18-29 suffers from this condition, and the number increases to nine out of ten in the 60-70 age group. Additionally, it was observed that disease progression differs between genders, starting earlier in men and accelerating rapidly in women after menopause. Most people are unaware of associated risk factors such as blood pressure and cholesterol, highlighting the importance of early detection through ultrasound imaging to prevent health complications.
