@thetinmen The real gender gap in heart disease
@thetinmen The Framingham Heart Study is the largest ongoing study on cardiovascular health in history; covering [5U00 Americans; and captured over 75 years: 1948-2023 THANK YOU 8 8 6330) Framingham Heart Study HEART Three Generations of Dedication
@thetinmen It found At every age,men face significantly increased risks of heart disease. Lifetime risk of Sudden Cardiac Death Increased male mortality Age Men's risk Women's risk 45 10.9% 2.8% 3.4% 3.4% 2.4% 3.9x 55 11.200 10.1% 3.3x 65 3x 75 6.7% 2.8x Average 3.3x
@thetinmen Women are at a higher risk of dying from heart disease So if men are at in part because the greatest risk doctors dont take major sex and gender to heart disease . differences into account Over 10 years in England and Wales then why do we only ever hearthe opposite? two more women a day could have survived a Fourdatioart Who we heart attack if theyd received the same Donate standard of care as mon Information and support Support Women with a heart condition Women Women and heart disease Heart Research UK Women are at risk if they do not recognise the signs of a heart attack and then delay getting help_ Together with gender inequalities in heart attack care this is costing women'$ lives. It'$ time to put this right: American Heart Associationa R88 for women: Gender Gap ' Report Asa woman, you are more likely to die from heart attack Together; we can save more women's lives and tackle the heart attack gender gap.

@thetinmen It's true that more women die from heart disease than men: .. 560 530 Total heart disease deaths (in thousands) over time 510 490 470 450 430 410 Female 390 Male 370 1979 1980 1985 1990 1995 2000 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 But it's also true that men die far younger to heart disease. Men Women 65 72 Average age of first heart attack
@thetinmen So whilst they have fewer total deaths, men die at far higher rates in early age. Peak annual deaths,2001,CDC Age Group Male Female Under 1 357 306 1-4 years 130 108 5-14 years 212 162 15-24 years 799 547 25-34 years 2,435 1,490 35-44 years 11,300 5,643 45-54 years 30,830 13,268 55-64 years 51,687 26,311 65-74 years 92,900 64,082 75-84 years 143,269 154,094 85 years + 103,931 237,603 Difference male x1.2 male x1.3 male x1.3 male x1.5 male x1.6 male x2.0 male x2.3 male x2.0 male x1.4 female x1.1 female x2.3 Total 437,850 503,614 female x1.2
@thetinmen 'The absolute number of men dying in the prime of their lives is staggering: Between the ages of 35 and 64, 92,000 men die every year which is twice as many men as women, and equivalent to those who died in the Korean War and Vietnam War combined:' Source: Quillette, The Real Gender Gap in Heart Disease
@thetinmen And no, it's not caused by men's 'lifestyle choices' . Men have two times higher heart attack risk than women throughout life, even after full adjustment for risk factors: Risk factors adjusted for: Serum lipids, total cholesterol, blood pressure (systolic/diastolic) , smoking status, diabetes, BMI, and physical activity:
@thetinmen 'The story of historical female systemic disadvantage is a very real one, but the presence of a long list of bonafide grievances gives no license for the creation of new grievances based on bad analysis Men die of heart disease at rates that are well beyond women: Full stop The roots of this gap are likely rooted in biology; controlling for traditional cardiac risk factors like serum lipid levels, blood pressure and smoking seem to have no impact on the poorer outcomes seen in men.

There is a secret that lurks in the medical profession, hidden within the folds of the so-called “gender gap in heart disease”. If you were to Google such a term, you will be confronted with numerous well-meaning and impactful claims about ‘women and heart disease’. Statements that women die more, that they’re more poorly treated, and have worse heath outcomes in heart disease than men. A quick check of the numbers will back this up as true. Yes, at its peak (2001) 503,614 women and 437,850 men in America died from Cardiovascular Disease, which is certainly a large and important difference. But if you look beyond crude numbers, and take into account age, you’ll see how misleading this ‘gender gap’ claim really is. Factoring in age, you will find men are far more likely to die from heart disease, in fact, 3-4 times more likely, as women. That is until age 75 and onward, when so many men have sadly died from the disease that the balance of total deaths tips, and women predominate in old age and in overall numbers. Yes. Tens of thousand MORE men die from heart disease, in every age group before 75, and are never mentioned in the context of “gender gaps”, with the opposite insisted instead. Of course, politics follows suit, perpetuating the lie that women are uniquely vulnerable; providing free, tax-funded heart disease screenings and evaluations for uninsured women… and not men. Similarly, the American Heart Association, and the British Heart Foundation, will run various campaigns and awareness raising efforts, dedicated to women, and not men, for the same reason. So men, who are significantly MORE at risk, are excluded from help, on the basis of bad mathematics and misleading stats. Men, as always, falling through the cracks, far more likely to die, whilst simultaneously being excluded from programs that might help save them. So is it time we broke down the data more fairly, to see the hidden risks that so many young men are silently facing? And is it time we gave men the same awareness raising, free screenings and evaluations that women already benefit from? What do you think?
