**Maintaining Heart Health at Any Age**Cardiovascular disease (CVD) affects more than 28 million adults in the United States, according to the American Heart Association (AHA). While older adults are often associated with CVD, younger adults are also at risk. In fact, a recent study found that 1 in 7 adults ages 30 to 59 has a high 30-year risk for CVD.
Experts attribute early onset cases of CVD to factors such as smoking, drug use, family history of heart disease, and uncontrolled medical problems like diabetes, obesity, and hypertension. To maintain heart health, it's essential to manage these risk factors through lifestyle changes and medical treatment.
**The Life's Essential 8**The American Heart Association recommends following the Life's Essential 8, which focuses on managing CVD risk factors:
- Managing high blood pressure
- Managing diabetes
- Maintaining healthy cholesterol levels
- Smoking cessation
- Maintaining a healthy weight
- Getting proper sleep
- Exercising regularly (including both cardio and resistance training)
- Eating a healthy, balanced diet emphasizing whole foods, fruits and vegetables, and lean proteins
We spoke with three individuals who've been affected by CVD to raise awareness about early onset and inspire others to pay attention to their heart health.
