Scientists from the University of Sydney (Australia) found that high cholesterol and high systolic blood pressure (the highest number) are the main reasons for the development of coronary heart disease at the age of 55-60. The results of the study were as follows: published In the journal PLOS One.
The authors analyzed health data from 136,000 Britons with high levels of “bad” cholesterol, 135,000 people with high systolic blood pressure and 24,000 people with coronary heart disease. Scientists wanted to evaluate the long-term impact of these factors on the development of cardiovascular diseases.
The analysis showed that increased levels of “bad” cholesterol and increased upper blood pressure increased the risk of developing coronary heart disease. According to the scientists, participants’ average systolic blood pressure increased with age, and cholesterol levels were highest between ages 56 and 60; This is the age group at highest risk of contracting the disease.
