Study: Arterial heart disease starts at 23
A recent American study revealed that early indicators of heart disease appear in the walls of arteries starting from the twenties. It was found that approximately 80% of more than 1,200 young people with an average age of 23 suffer from at least one risk factor associated with heart and vascular problems, such as high blood pressure, obesity, and elevated levels of blood sugar and cholesterol. As the level of risk increases, the thickness of the arterial walls also increases, indicating the beginning of atherosclerosis and the development of heart issues before symptoms or diagnosis appear. The findings emphasize the importance of early detection of risk factors through basic measurements like weight and cholesterol to ensure early prevention of heart disease.
