The early turning point when men’s heart risk accelerates
Men start developing heart disease earlier than women, with risks rising faster beginning around age 35, according to long-term research. The difference is driven mainly by coronary heart disease, not stroke or heart failure. Traditional risk factors explain only part of the gap. The findings suggest earlier screening could help catch problems before serious damage occurs.
A decades-long study tracking people from young adulthood has uncovered an early and unexpected shift in heart disease risk.
Men reached a 5% risk of cardiovascular disease roughly seven years earlier than women, revealing a clear and early gap in heart health.
Coronary heart disease accounted for most of this difference, driving the earlier rise in risk among men.
Heart disease risk looked similar for men and women until about age 35, when men's risk began to increase more quickly.
The earlier onset in men cannot be explained by smoking, high blood pressure, or diabetes alone, pointing to additional biological or social influences.
