Indian Americans have a significantly higher risk of heart failure than other ethnic groups, such as African Americans and Hispanics, according to a recent study. Three thousand people participated in this study conducted by Columbia University in New York. A basic method to aid in the prediction of heart failure in Indian Americans was developed by the study using data from the Strong Heart Study.
According to the study, this group experiences heart failure two to three times more frequently than other groups. The risk is increased by conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, smoking, kidney issues, previous heart attacks, and high blood sugar.
Indian Americans suffer from a plethora of additional health problems in addition to heart failure, including depression, substance abuse, obesity, accidental accidents, suicide, teenage pregnancy, liver disease, and hepatitis. With the aid of the researchers’ tool, physicians can better grasp the dangers that Native Americans experience and devise strategies for preventing heart issues.
Heart disease and other health issues can be prevented by maintaining a healthy diet, engaging in regular exercise, getting adequate sleep, abstaining from alcohol and tobacco use, and other lifestyle choices. Naturally, it’s a good idea to keep stress away from your heart!
