Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to explore sex-specific risk factors (SS-RFs) for cardiovascular disease (CVD) that often go unnoticed in premenopausal Canadian women aged 19-49.
- Out of 2559 survey respondents, 82% were considered low medical risk, but 35% of them had at least one SS-RF, and many high-risk participants underestimated their CVD risk.
- The research revealed that while knowledge of traditional CVD risks was fairly high, awareness of SS-RFs was low, with a significant number of women engaging in insufficient health-promoting behaviors.
