Top preventable causes of heart deaths
A recent study revealed that approximately 90% of heart disease-related deaths in 2023 were linked to preventable risk factors, primarily high blood pressure, an unhealthy diet, and high cholesterol levels. The study showed that deaths from ischemic heart disease have decreased by 58.7% since 1990. However, the main causes of death have remained consistent, with high blood pressure contributing 47%, poor nutrition 39%, and high cholesterol 28.5% to heart fatalities in 2023. Experts emphasized that prevention involves monitoring blood pressure, following a healthy diet such as the Mediterranean or DASH diet, exercising regularly, maintaining a healthy weight, avoiding smoking, managing diabetes, and undergoing regular check-ups for early detection.
