- Awareness of heart disease being the #1 killer of women has increased by 23%
- 34% few women now die of heart disease
- women continue to make healthy lifestyle changes to protect their heart health: including losing excess weight, exercising more, eating healthier and continuously having their cholesterol checked
And though the results are encouraging, there is still much to be done. So in honor of the brave women who are dealing with the “silent killer” heart disease and in honor of those who continue to create awarness and empower women in making the right choices when it comes to their heart health, make sure you WEAR RED on Friday, February 5th.
