Why do women over 40 need to pay closer attention to heart and metabolic health?
Heart disease is a major health threat for Indian women, surpassing cancer as the leading cause of death, with increasing prevalence at younger ages. Post-menopausal hormonal changes, particularly estrogen decline, significantly elevate cardiovascular risks. Proactive health management, including lifestyle adjustments and monitoring metabolic health, is crucial for women over 40 to mitigate these risks and ensure long-term well-being.
