- Compared to breast cancer where 1 in 30 will die and 1 in 3 will die from heart disease, stroke and other cardiovascular illnesses (Absolute Advantage, 2003)
- Women are at more risk than ever with the high rate of obesity and diabetes Unhealthy habits account for 82% of heart disease in women. As a result behavior change is extremely important in preventing heart disease. -Death rates from heart disease increases for women over the age of 65 **Possibly add in something about behavior change process
- Hallmark symptoms: chest pain and difficulty breathing 2 ½ million American women are hospitalized for heart disease every year, and one out of every three of them die.
- Both men and women accumulate plaque on the walls of the blood vessels. As time goes on the plaque builds up and causes clogs in the blood vessels. As a result, blood flow is disrupted or stopped, causing a heart attack or stroke. Differences… men, build up plaque in clumps or bulges. In women, the plaque is spread more evenly along the vessel lining. 1/3 of women who have heart attacks don’t show a “big kink” Natural tendency to down play their own symptoms to take care of their family members. This is an issue when symptoms for heart disease can already be subtle. Source: Newsweek with Harvard Medical School, 2004

- Lung Cancer is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in one or both of the lungs. 1- 79% of lung cancer is caused by smoking, 1 out of 4 cancer deaths is lung cancer and nearly 1 out of 8 newly diagnosed cancers among women. 2. There are 70,000 US Cancer deaths in women in the US (ACS, 2007) 3. Statistic activity: Cut statistics on little pieces of paper and have audience read stats. In 2003, 69,000 women in U.S. died from lung cancer 79% of lung cancers are caused by smoking **cut up these statistics and have audience read them. In NH 700 women die yearly from smoking 33,100 kids in NH under the age of 18 today will die prematurely from smoking (2006). 300 kids under the age of 18 have lost their moms to smoking Source: Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids, updated 2006 Other risks for women who smoke are stroke, cataracts, poor circulation, high blood pressure, skin conditions, premature aging, wrinkles, cancers of the mouth and all throughout the body, emphysema, etc. Show ingredients list & girl poster, tar jar
- 93% of cases occur in people aged 50 and older Preventive screenings should start at age 50 and then yearly (CDC) Colorectal cancer usually starts from polyps in the colon or rectum. A Polyp is a growth that shouldn’t be there. Overtime some polyps can become cancer. Screening tests can find polyps before they turn into cancer.
- Colorectal cancer doesn’t always show symptoms. That’s why screening is so important!
- A stroke occurs when an artery that carries blood, oxygen and nutrients to the brain either bursts or is blocked by a clot. When this happens the brain can’t get the blood and oxygen it needs and it starts to die. Blood flow cut off from brain = cerebrovascular disease Blood flow bursts= aneurysm Age= chance of having a stroke increases after the age 55 - A stroke in the US occurs every 45 seconds. Of every 5 deaths from stroke: 2 occur in men and 3 in women (American Stroke Association, 2007) Stroke in NH: #3 leading cause death in females 2003 nearly 54% of all heart disease and stroke deaths in NH occurred in females.

- Hormones: There are two critical times when estrogen drives fat storage UP in women puberty and pregnancy. Estrogen encourages fat storage in the breasts, hips, thighs and buttocks. Estrogen also makes females MORE sensitive to insulin. Particularly during the post-ovulatory period. This increased sensitivity to insulin can lower blood sugar and initiate the craving for sweets that women experience during the pre-menstrual period. Menopause: The menstrual cycle is a physiological process which costs the boy calories to perform. At menopause the loss of this function could cause a weight gain of 4-6 pounds a year if the female does not make an adjustment in her energy expenditure or food intake!
- Risk Factor: Anything that increases a person’s chance of getting a disease. Having a risk factor for a disease means that a person is more likely to develop the disease at some point in their lives. Risk factors you can’t control are on the right side. It is important to know your family health history. Age – The older you get the more likely you are to develop heart disease or have a stroke, Gender – Women account for more than half of all stroke deaths. Heredity & race – If your brother, father or grandfather had a heart attach before age 55 or your sister, mother or grandmother had one before age 65 you may be at risk. If you have had a heart attack, your at a higher risk of having a second one or a stroke. Your stroke risk is greater if a parent, grandparent sister or brother had a stroke. African Americans have higher rates of cardiovascular disease and stroke than Caucasians. Risk factors – you can control are on the left. These are lifestyle related risk factors.
- Cholesterol comes from 2 places – from the food you eat and your body produces it. Cholesterol is a waxy, fat like substance that your body needs to make hormones, vitamin D and bile acids that aid in the digestion of fat. It is found in all cells of the body. LDL: “bad cholesterol” carries most of the cholesterol in the blood. Too much LDL can lead to buildup and blockage of arteries. HDL: “good cholesterol” works as “garbage truck” – transports LDL cholesterol from other parts of the body to the liver for disposal. Your body makes cholesterol based on your family history. Other cholesterol comes from whole dairy products, eggs, animal fats and red meat. Overtime, cholesterol and fat are deposited in the inner walls of the arteries that supply blood to your heart. This buildup can lead to heart attack, stroke and death. Have your cholesterol checked starting at age 20 once every 5 years. Blood chol. Is measured in milligrams per deciliter ( 1/10th of a liter) Reduce your high cholesterol by limiting foods with saturated fats, trans fats and consuming low and non fat dairy products and exercise.

- High Blood Pressure is the silent killer – no symptoms. HBP makes the heart work harder than normal. What do blood pressure numbers indicate? The higher (systolic) number represents the pressure while the heart is beating. The lower (diastolic) number represents the pressure when the heart is resting between beats. Learn your blood pressure numbers. According to the AHA: Blood pressure below 120 over 80 mmHg (millimeters of mercury) is considered optimal for adults. A systolic pressure of 120 to 139 mmHg or a diastolic pressure of 80 to 89 mmHg is considered "prehypertension" and needs to be watched carefully. A blood pressure reading of 140 over 90 or higher is considered elevated (high). Pill – research has linked birth control pills with high blood pressure in some women Pregnancy – hypertension can develop rapidly during the last 3 months of pregnancy – dangerous to mom and baby Overweight – added weight brings added risk for high BP (20 lbs or more overweight increases your risk) Menopause – post menopause increases the risk of high BP for women – greater than man’s risk African American – no known reason, but black women are more susceptible than white women Family Tree – parents or close family member has high BP there’s a good chance you will.

- 1 in 3 American adults has diabetes. 9 out of 10 people have Type 2 diabetes. Your body changes the food you eat into sugar. Your blood takes the sugar to the cells throughout your body. The sugar needs insulin to get into the body’s cells. Insulin is a hormone made in the pancreas. The pancreas releases insulin into the blood. If your body does not make enough insulin or the insulin doesn’t work right the sugar can’t get into the cells so it stays in the blood. This makes your blood sugar level high causing you to have diabetes. Type 1: Your body doesn’t make insulin. Type 2: (most common form) Pancreas doesn’t produce enough insulin to keep blood sugar levels normal. Gestational Diabetes: Occurs in women when hormones produced during pregnancy keep insulin from doing it’s job. Type 2 – Pancreas doesn’t produce enough insulin to keep blood sugar levels normal. Without insulin glucose can’t move from your blood into cells. Having high cholesterol and high blood pressure along with diabetes increases your risk for stroke & heart disease.
