According to Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota report women aged 41-64 in Minnesota experienced an increase of strokes by 24%.
Strokes among females of this age group are “one of the fastest growing diseases among all Minnesota members under age 65.”
Also strokes “topped the list of fastest growing major diseases.’”
Diabetes was a close second for women age 41-64 with an increase of “20.5%, compared to 17.9% among males in the same age group.”
An interesting stat was the spike in the number of women having obesity surgical procedures done.
A remarkable 121% increase with nearly 242 patients per 100,000.
Hypertension, arterial disease in which chronic high blood pressure is the primary symptom, among men under 40 increased by 23.8%.
Is this due to stress?
