"The number of people 65 or older who are hospitalized for heart failure more than doubled in the past 27 years and is likely to keep climbing unless prevention measures are adopted quickly, U.S. researchers said on Sunday.Too bad you don't have mouth and swallow failure.
The American Heart Association estimates the chronic but often deadly condition will cost $34.8 billion this year in the United States for direct and indirect treatment costs...
Risk factors include high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke, diabetes, obesity and lifestyle factors such as smoking, lack of exercise and a diet rich in fatty foods."
Fitness Watch is your site for making sense of fitness advice.
"Truth" has a shelf life.
The shelf life of "truth" is very short in the domains of fitness, health and well-being.
The reason is that so much of what we are told is "true" is really baseless.
At Fitness Watch we separate fitness information from fitness noise.
