Black adults face a disheartening reality – they are 54% more likely to succumb to cardiovascular disease compared to their White counterparts. This unsettling statistic persists despite significant strides in reducing overall cardiovascular mortality nationwide. A groundbreaking study by Tulane University, recently published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, presents a paradigm shift in understanding the root causes behind this racial divide. Surprisingly, the study points to social factors, encompassing unemployment, low income, and absence of a partner, as the driving forces of this disparity, overshadowing well-established factors such as hypertension and obesity.

A study led by McMaster University and Hamilton Health Sciences highlights the importance of consuming a combination of six key foods to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, fish, and whole-fat dairy products were found to be crucial in preventing heart attacks and strokes. The research, conducted globally, emphasizes the significance of a healthy diet and offers various options to achieve it.

With non-communicable diseases (NCDs) claiming around three quarters of all lives lost each year, the World Health Organisation (WHO) warned that chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes and respiratory illnesses would account for 86 per cent of deaths each year by 2050. This would be a staggering 90 per cent increase in absolute numbers, since 2019.
