Heart disease does not travel person to person through contact. You can develop this by lifestyle or heredity .
Age is a big risk factor in getting heart disease. It is estimated that 87 percent of people who die of heart disease are 60 and older and the risk of heart disease doubles every 10 years after age 55. Aging is also associated with changes in the structural properties of the arteries wall, which leads to the loss of elasticity.
Among middle-aged people, heart disease is 2 to 5 times more common in men than in women.Women will start to catch up at about the age 55-60. Between men and women, there are differences in body weight, height, body fat distribution, heart rate, which may be huge risk factors for heart disease.
Hardening of the arteries has been found in Egyptian mummies, some as old as 3,500 years, showing that heart Disease is not a new Problem.
