Article Synopsis
- Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death globally and a major concern in France, heavily influenced by modifiable risk factors like obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol levels.
- In 2015, significant prevalence rates for these conditions were reported among adults aged 18-74, with obesity at 17.2% and diabetes at 7.4%, yet awareness of these conditions was low among those affected.
- A push for better prevention methods, especially through nutrition and education, is essential to tackle these cardiovascular risk factors, with a noted importance on also addressing women's specific health issues that impact cardiovascular risk.
