How do socioeconomic factors contribute to cardiovascular disease?
—Socioeconomic factors such as poverty, education, and access to healthcare influence lifestyle choices, stress levels, and quality of healthcare, all of which impact cardiovascular health.
Why are heart disease death rates higher in areas with higher poverty rates?
—Higher poverty rates are often associated with limited access to nutritious food, healthcare facilities, and opportunities for physical activity, all of which contribute to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
Why are women in poverty more affected by cardiovascular disease?
—Women in poverty, especially those in single-headed households, may face additional socioeconomic stressors, limited resources for healthcare, and barriers to accessing preventive measures, leading to a higher risk of cardiovascular disease.
Why does heart disease receive less media coverage?
—Heart disease often competes with other health issues and may not receive adequate media attention, despite being a leading cause of death. Increased media coverage and awareness campaigns are needed to address this issue.
What can be done to improve public awareness of heart disease?
—Enhanced education initiatives, targeted awareness campaigns, and increased media coverage can help improve public awareness of heart disease, its risk factors, and preventive measures.
