Question

In general, men and women have a similar death rate from cardiovascular disease, but there is a discrepancy, with men ___________ having a significantly higher risk.​

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Men during middle age (45-64) have a significantly higher risk of dying from cardiovascular disease compared to women in the same age group. However, after the age of 65, women have a higher prevalence of cardiovascular disease and a higher risk of death. Being married is not consistently shown to have a significant correlation with cardiovascular disease mortality. Age and sex are the most significant factors.
