Revealed: Middle Aged Hearts In Poor Shape...
Dear Reader,
Most Americans have hearts that aren't so healthy by the time they reach middle age, especially African American ones according to some new research out of the University of Pittsburg School of Medicine.
In fact, only one out of every 1,933 study participants in Pennsylvania's Allegheny County evaluated met the American Heart Association's criteria for ideal cardiovascular health. Surprising to researchers since these subjects had volunteered to take part in a study looking into healthy hearts.
You have a healthy heart if you are a nonsmoker, not overweight (a BMI under 25), are physically active on a regular basis and eat a balanced, healthy diet. Beyond this, you need to have three basic markers of heart health - cholesterol below 200, blood pressure under 120/80, and a fasting blood sugar level under 100. All seven constitute "ideal" heart health and were released last year by the AHA as the "Simple 7".
The subjects evaluated in this latest work were between 45 and 75 years old (mean age 59) taking part in a study named Heart SCORE - Heart Strategies Concentrating on Risk Evaluation. Of the total, half were African American, two thirds were female. Most had attended college and earned at least $40,000 a year.
Less than 10% of the study subjects met five or more of the criteria for a healthy heart. Just 2% behaved in a heart healthy way. What's worse, African American subjects had 82% lower odds than their white counterparts of meeting five (or more) of the heart health criteria. Over 80% of the participants were either overweight or obese, and this is likely to have been an important influence on other factors and behaviors. Dangerously high, or elevated cholesterol levels, and elevated or high blood pressure readings were also quite common among the subjects.
The study also found...
- The number of subjects who met five or more ideal heart health components went down significantly as they got older and incomes fell.
- African Americans had a much poorer health status in every area of heart health except for total cholesterol numbers.
- Men were more likely to smoke or be former smokers than women.

Revealed: Middle Aged Hearts In Poor Shape... Continued...
- Men were also more likely to be overweight and have high blood pressure.
- Women ranked below men on being active and their total cholesterol numbers.
- Fewer than 40% of participants ate at least three servings of fruits and veggies
a day.
It seems that the prevalence of ideal heart health is very low in a very good
size sample of middle-aged people - a snapshot of most adults in the United States.
Especially troubling because heart disease is a leading killer the world over.
The AHA has set a goal to reduce deaths from heart disease 20% by the year 2020.
In an editorial that accompanies the study, Clyde Yancy continues to support
the AHA goal. He suggests medical professionals might need the "moonshot mentality" to
get us there in time. At the least we'll need to change how we all think about
food, our bodies, and keeping them healthy. Social changes, access to healthcare,
changes in our physical environments and public policy are also part of the puzzle
when it comes to getting more hearts in better shape.
To your good health,

Fortune 500 companies make their money by people like you and I buying their products.
But how do they know what we want to buy? Easy they pay to find out the products we like, where we shop and what we buy.
In a nutshell big businesses need people to tell them what products to make.
People like Michelle McAllister - a 34 year old full-time mother of two. Michelle and many others help "big business" make millions, although they haven't got any marketing or sales experience.
In fact Michelle knows absolutely nothing about business, but she does know what she likes...
And that's exactly the information these companies are after and will pay you for.
