Hispanic women at higher risk for heart disease The researchers found that the Hispanic women’s prehypertension rate (32 percent) was significantly higher than Caucasian women (19 percent). Heart disease shocker for Hispanic women Hispanic women may be more at risk of heart disease ten years earlier than other women. A shocking report that overturns previously held beliefs showed that Hispanic women had significantly higher risks because of hypertension and because they were considerably less active than Caucasian women who were ten years older. The Hispanic group also had a slightly higher rate of metabolic syndrome, a series of factors used to predict diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The average age of Hispanic women in the study was 53. These findings contradict the widely held belief that Hispanic women are less at risk than their counterparts in other ethnic groups. "The prevailing theme in medicine has been that Hispanic patients have fewer heart attacks and strokes than Caucasians, even though Hispanics seem to have equal, if not worse, cardiac risk factors and tend to be more socio-economically deprived," said study lead John C. Teeters, M.D., a cardiologist at the University of Rochester. "In clinical practice, however, we see the opposite, with Hispanic patients who seem to have heart disease earlier than Caucasians." Researchers suspect that under-representation of Hispanics in census gathering may have contributed to the previously held misconception, and point out that Hispanics are more likely to be illegal immigrants and may also tend to return to their homelands when they are ill, or to die. To compare heart disease risk among the ethnic populations, Teeters and colleagues conducted a series of free community health screenings at churches, community centers and outpatient clinics that cater to Hispanics. They performed medical histories to determine cardiac risk, as well as measured each subject’s waist circumference, activity level, weight, height, blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol level. They gathered the same data in a Caucasian group of people and compared data among the women in the study. "If you look at prevalence by age, there is a clear trend for Hispanics towards increased prevalence at a younger age, with earlier onset in Hispanic women for these cardiac risk factors," he said. "The study suggests that Hispanic women develop cardiac risk factors earlier than their Caucasian counterparts and that being Hispanic could be an independent risk factor for heart disease among women," Teeters said. Doctors should consider more aggressively treating and trying to prevent heart disease at earlier ages, Teeter said. The findings were presented at the American Heart Association’s 47th Annual Conference on Cardiovascular Disease Epidemiology and Prevention, held March 2 in Orlando, Fla.
