Men Still Develop Heart Disease 10 Years Earlier than Women
Men reach a 2% coronary heart disease incidence about 10 years earlier and 5% cardiovascular disease incidence 7 years earlier than women, indicating a need for earlier screening.
- A large U.S. study led by Northwestern Medicine found men develop coronary heart disease years earlier than women, publishing January 28 in the Journal of the American Heart Association using CARDIA study data.
- Researchers analyzed CARDIA cohort data spanning enrollment in the mid-1980s to 2020, including more than 5,100 participants enrolled ages 18 to 30, enabling risk tracking from young adulthood.
- Using 2% and 5% incidence cutoffs, men reached a 2% incidence of coronary heart disease more than 10 years earlier and a 5% incidence of cardiovascular disease 7.0 years earlier than women, at ages 50.5 versus 57.5 years.
- Health experts recommend earlier screening, especially for men, as women are more than four times as likely to attend routine checkups, highlighting missed preventive-care opportunities among young adults.
- Differences emerging in the fourth decade suggest unmeasured biological or social drivers as men's cardiovascular risk begins rising faster around age 35, beyond traditional risk factors.
