Most American Indian/Alaska Native women of childbearing age have suboptimal heart health, AHA reports

Heart health risks emerge early in life in American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) women and are increased by social factors - like high levels of experiencing violence and traumatic life events - and disproportionately high rates of Type 2 diabetes, smoking and obesity, according to a new scientific statement published today in Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes, a peer-reviewed American Heart Association journal.
