Women over thirty have a higher risk of developing heart disease

The Dhaka Times Desk Doctors say women over the age of 30 are more likely to develop heart disease if they lack exercise. A recent study in Australia revealed this information.

Research shows that exercise has saved the lives of over 3,000 women in their thirties. Being inactive increases the risk of heart disease in women. Because their body weight increases at a faster rate than men. This obesity of them can cause diseases on the body especially heart disease. Exercising less or reducing physical activity increases the chance of gaining body fat. This possibility is again more in women than in men.

A group of researchers from the University of Queensland in Australia studied about 3000 women who were born in the years 1920, 1940 and 1970 respectively. They found that smoking caused heart disease the most in women over 30 years of age. However women are getting older day by day and they are starting to quit smoking. But many of the effects of smoking in the past come back to the body when they reach old age.

Researchers said that public awareness against smoking is increasing day by day, but compared to that, people's addiction or awareness towards physical exercise is not increasing in that way. Doctors say, this defect in women's physical obesity is called in medical terms, Cinderella risk factor. "Our goal now is to target middle-aged women so they can live disease-free into their later years," said Wendy Brown, a researcher at the University's Center for Research in Exercise. Wendy Brown outlined her goals to BBC News.

He said, if a middle-aged woman can do at least 30 to 45 minutes of exercise at a certain time throughout the day, her health, especially the heart, will be very healthy. As a result, a person who exercises regularly can stay free from many heart diseases. According to international health guidelines, people aged 19 to 64 should do at least 150 minutes of physical exercise a week. That is, you should exercise at least 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week.
