Page 2 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanvillc, Wednesday, February 17, 1999 Section Two Heart Health From page I The Heart and Stroke Foundation suggests many women put the demands of work and their families ahead of their own heart health. A full 74 percent of women reported feeling stress. Though stress is not considered a major risk factor for heart disease and stroke, it is often associated with poor lifestyle choices. The study also found that only a third of Canadian women between the ages of 45 and 74 were at an acceptable weight. Only 36 percent of women reported being active or moderately active. * The survey also found women with an immediate family history of heart disease or stroke were no more likely to do anything about heart health, even though statistics show women with a family history can double a woman's risk. Older women did make the grade in. two categories of the survey: 78 percent percent have never smoked or have quit smoking, and 83 percent had their blood pressure checked within the last year. Smoking and undetected or uncontrolled high blood pressure can at least double the risk of heart disease and stroke. "Women need to realize that the best way to protect their heart health in the future is to act now," advises Dr. Anthony Graham in a media release. Dr. Graham is a cardiologist and volunteer volunteer with the Heart and Stroke Foundation. "Taking action during their forties and fifties can make a" tremendous difference in their heart health in their sixties and seventies. Women need to look at their risk factors factors and to talk to their physicians about what they can do now to reduce their risk in the future." Dollar-Smithson has returned to good health. She has moved to Clarington, and while she's not overwhelmed overwhelmed by fear, one of her first questions questions to the real estate agent was about 9-1-1 service, which is available in this area. She continues to take medication, but her doctors are avoiding any type of surgery, unless she begins to feel unwell. She advises women to be sure they ask doctors lots of questions with regard to their heart health, and demand answers. "Some doctors arc not very forthcoming, forthcoming, and I think we have every right to know about our health," she says. Town's Chief Administrator Addresses Newcastle Ratepayers Association Boo!
