More Women Suffering From Strokes
Dear Reader,
The past ten years hasn't just added inches to some waistlines; USC researchers have found that the chance of stroke has risen as well.
The gap between men and women when it comes to stroke rates keeps getting bigger according to work presented at the 2010 American Stroke Association's (ASA) International Stroke Conference held in San Antonio.
Women between the ages of 45 to 54 are now three times more likely than men of the same age to have had a stroke, and University of Southern California in Los Angeles researcher Amytis Towfighi, MD suspects belly fat as a likely culprit.
In the latest analysis, risk factors for stroke were worse in men than in women, except when there was weight gain around the waistline.
Higher rates of stroke in this age group are certainly surprising.
It wasn't all that long ago that the same team of researchers reported that between the years 1999 and 2004 women of this age group (45-54) were more than two times as likely as same age male counterparts to have had a stroke.
At the time, this caused a stir in the medical community as women of this age had been thought to be protected from heart disease by hormones.
The new analysis using data from the National health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) was conducted to see if the gender gap that appeared in the earlier work could be supported... and it was.
The latest work on stroke risk involved an analysis of data on 2,136 male and female survey participants between the ages of 35 to 64.
Just about 3% of women in this age group had suffered a stroke, compared to a mere 1% of the men. The disparity appears most strongly in the 45 to 54 year olds, where females had 3.12 times the risk of having a stroke compared to men. Towfighi points out that the stroke risk of middle aged women is still low, just over 3 in 100.
"Women in NHANES 1999-2004 were significantly more obese than women a decade prior, with an average BMI of 28.67 kg/m2 versus 27.11 kg/m2 the decade prior. In addition, women in NHANES 1999-2004 had an average waist circumference of nearly 4 centimeters more than women in the earlier study," Towfighi points out.
Your doctor will tell you the most common risk factors for stroke are high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, smoking and increasing age.
In general, the men in the latest round of research were more likely to have the cardiovascular risk factors we expect, the difference in risk came from abdominal fat - 62% of the female subjects had abdominal obesity (waist measurements of 35 inches or more, 40 inches for men), commonly known as belly fat. Only half the male subjects in the study had unsightly belly fat.
"Our hypothesis is abdominal obesity increases the risk of other risk factors - diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol. Together, they drive up the risk of stroke," Towfighi explains.

More Women Suffering From Strokes Continued...
No one yet knows why, but fat in the belly area seems to be a stronger risk factor
for stroke in women. Traditional stroke risk factors like smoking and high blood
pressure do not appear to be going up in this age group of women.
To manage your risk you need to start by taking a hard look at your risk factors
and make changes where you can.
Exercising at least a half hour a day, opting for healthy food choices (5 or
more servings of fruits and veggies/day) and cutting down on the junk foods full
of fats, additives and other not-so-good for you ingredients are all smart moves.
Man or woman, if your doctor has told you that you need to lose weight, or that
you have poor blood sugar control, you need to take steps now to improve your
health, and reduce your stroke risk.
To your good health,
Kirsten Whittaker
