disease.

cardiovascular disease every year
– More than 200,000 women die each year from heart attacks-

– Over 159,000 women die each year of congestive heart failure (56.3% of all heart
failure deaths)
Reference: www.womenheart.org

7. • Every year more women than men die of heart disease.
• Once experiencing a heart attack - Women are less
likely than men to receive appropriate treatment!
• When it comes to research related studies did you
know women comprise only 27% of participants.
–Why is this significant?

9. • Sobering Statistics.
• African-American women are 35% more likely to die of heart disease than Caucasian women

14. Alcohol
• The use of alcohol is clearly linked to an increased risk of developing breast cancer.
The risk increases with the amount of alcohol consumed. Those who have 2 to 5
drinks daily have about 1½ times the risk of women who don’t drink alcohol.
Excessive alcohol use is also known to increase the risk of developing several other
types of cancer.
Being overweight or obese
• Being overweight or obese after menopause increases breast cancer risk.
Physical activity
• Evidence is growing that physical activity in the form of exercise reduces breast
cancer risk. The main question is how much exercise is needed. In one study from
the Women's Health Initiative, as little as 1.25 to 2.5 hours per week of brisk
walking reduced a woman's risk by 18%. Walking 10 hours a week reduced the risk
a little more.

15. Tobacco smoke
For a long time, studies found no link between
cigarette smoking and breast cancer. In recent years
though, some studies have found that smoking
might increase the risk of breast cancer. The
increased risk seems to affect certain groups, such
as women who started smoking when they were
young. In 2009, the International Agency for
Research on Cancer concluded that there is limited
evidence that tobacco smoking causes breast
cancer.
