Thirtysomething Canadians at Risk of Cardiac Incident
TORONTO, Jan. 28, 2014 /CNW/ - February is Heart Month - a timely opportunity to discuss cardiovascular health, a topic often and incorrectly perceived as a "Zoomer" issue. Cardiovascular diseases are a leading cause of death in adult Canadian men and women.1 According to a new, national Leger Heart Health survey and video sponsored by Jamieson Laboratories, perceived risk of heart disease is low among young adult Canadians. The survey found that only 1 in 4 Canadians aged 25 to 44 believe they are currently at risk for heart disease and a majority of men (65%) and women (69%) disagree that they could require treatment for heart disease in the near future.2
