🫀 Did you know?
📊 Heart disease remains a leading health concern for adults — especially as we age:
• Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, with over 370,000 deaths in 2022 from coronary artery disease alone. 
• In the U.S., someone has a heart attack every 40 seconds. 
• Among adults aged 65 and older, about 18% have diagnosed heart disease, compared with much lower rates in younger groups.

• Heart disease prevalence increases sharply with age — the risk of cardiovascular problems rises significantly after age 60.

• Nearly 23% of adults aged 85+ have heart disease, according to recent health data.

• Heart disease treatments are most common in older adults: 22.8% of adults 65+ were treated for heart disease in 2022, compared with much lower rates in younger groups. 
🌟 Why this matters:
As the population ages, heart health becomes even more crucial. Preventive care, lifestyle changes, and regular check-ups can dramatically improve quality of life — especially for older adults.
🩺 Roadrunner Healthcare is here to support your heart health at every age. Let’s make heart health a priority this February — and all year long!
