Heart Attack Risk and Enlightenment
Heart Attack Risk and Enlightenment
On cable in my town there are three channels dedicated specifically to women’s issues – one dedicated solely to movies made to inform and enlighten – and frighten.
When it comes to heart attack risk and men, however, there are no movies being made, no special cable channels to run them, no informing or enlightening or frightening going on at all. I wish I could say that this is a good thing.
If men’s heart attack risk didn’t affect us, it’d be one thing, but obviously we are affected. I learned of one effect from the House Bill supporting National Men’s Health Week – here’s a fact that’s not fun at all:
More than one-half the elderly widows now living in poverty were not poor before the death of their husbands….
Heart Attack Risk Affects Life Plans:
Most of us are working hard, raising children, looking forward to retirement and grandkids, but some us could wind up living in a very unexpected poverty.
between the ages of 45 and 54, men are 3 times more likely than women to die of heart attacks
Heart Attack Risk and Financial Disruption:
Medical issues can disrupt all our plans; if our husband were to die during his prime earning years, it would not only be emotionally devastating, it could prove financically devastating as well.
I’m just like a woman’s cable channel – working to inform and enlighten, and – if necessary – even to frighten.
