Key Health Issues Facing Women Heart Disease Breast Cancer Osteoporosis Depression

Heart Disease Fact Heart disease is the leading cause of death in American women. The latest data show that 1 in every 3 women die of cardiovascular disease. It is estimated that nearly 35% of the women in the United States presently have cardiovascular disease Fact Men and women both may experience chest pain as the most common warning sign for heart attacks. Women, however, may also report other symptoms, such as indigestion, heavy arms, or fatigue on exertion.

Heart Disease Fact: Some tests such as the standard treadmill exercise test are less reliable for diagnosing heart disease in women

Diagnosing Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) in Women Electrocardiogram Exercise treadmill test Stress echocardiogram Stress thallium

Atherosclerosis Normal vessel Atherosclerotic vessel

Breast Cancer Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women The earlier breast cancer is found, the better the chance of survival Survival rates for localized breast cancer exceed 95%

Primary Breast Cancer Risks Early menarche (before age 12) Late menopause (after age 55) Family or personal history Bearing children after 30, or not at all Age (women over 50) Consumption of high fat foods and excessive alcohol Overweight Use of postmenopausal hormone therapy

Breast Cancer: Reducing Risk and Early Detection Women age 35-40: need a baseline Women age 40-69: Have a mammogram every 1-2 years, and a clinical breast exam every year. Women at increased risk may need to be examined earlier or more often. Be sure to consult your doctor!

Osteoporosis It affects more than 1 out of 24 Americans Another 1 out of 13 Americans has enough bone loss to be at risk Women are 4 times more likely to develop it than men One out of 2 women versus 1 in 8 men over 50 will break a bone in their lifetime because of it Risk increases as we get older

Osteoporosis Risk Factors Menopause Absence of periods before menopause Certain medications (steroids, thyroid hormone, antacids and others) Genetics Poor diet – low calcium intake History of multiple fractures Increased parathyroid hormone Excessive alcohol use Physical inactivity Smoking

Osteoporosis: What Does It Look Like? Normal BoneOsteoporotic Bone

Consequences of Osteoporosis More than 1.5 million broken bones each year result, in part, from osteoporosis. –300,000 hip fractures –700,000 spine fractures –250,000 wrist fractures –300,000 fractures in other parts of the body Common Fracture Sites

Screening for Osteoporosis DEXA – The T score compares your bone density with that of the average healthy young adult woman

Osteoporosis Prevention Get enough calcium ( mg) and vitamin D (800 – 1000IU) Limit protein and salt – may decrease calcium absorption. Avoid smoking – smokers have less bone density Limit alcohol – may reduce the intestinal absorption of calcium and interfere with vitamin D conversion Exercise regularly –Weight bearing – bone is living tissue and responds to exercise by becoming stronger –Resistance

Major Depression Depression is more common than diabetes and occurs more often in women than men Biological, psychosocial, and cultural factors contribute to depression risk

Symptoms of Major Depression Difficulty concentrating, remembering details, and making decisions Fatigue and decreased energy Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, and/or helplessness, hopelessness Irritability, restlessness Overeating or appetite loss Loss of interest in activities or hobbies, including sex Persistent sad, anxious, or “empty” feelings Insomnia, early-morning wakefulness or excessive sleeping

Major Depression Never be afraid to discuss depressive symptoms with your doctor Treatment consists of medications and/or talk therapy Allow time for therapies to work

So How Do We Measure Health? With Numbers !

What Should The Numbers Be? Blood Pressure – Less than 120/80 mmHG Blood Sugar – Fasting –Normal - lower than 100mg/dl –Pre-diabetic mg/dl –AIC - less than 7 Waist Circumference –Men – less than 40 inches, –Women - less than 35 inches Body Mass Index – - Based on height and weight

What Should The Numbers Be? ●Total Cholesterol – less than 200mg/dl ●Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) – less than 100mg/dl ●High-density lipoprotein (HDL) ●Women greater than 50mg/dl ●Men greater than 40mg/dl ●Triglycerides – less than 150mg/dl

How Do We Find the Numbers? By partnering with your health care provider and scheduling your preventive screenings

The Mind/Body Relationship Physical health and mental health are interdependent Stress and psychological events that are potentially negative worsen health

The Mind/Body Relationship Physical illness can increase risk of developing depression and anxiety disorders Getting support has been shown to improve health

The Benefits of Relationships Relationships are vital sources of emotional support and good health. It is important to have: –Someone to talk to about things at work or at home –Someone who regularly helps with responsibilities and tasks –Someone who regularly helps with the children

You and Your Doctor Good communication is the key to a successful relationship! Go prepared to the office visit by making a list of your concerns and be as specific as possible.

You and Your Doctor Your doctor is your health care partner. It is important to choose doctors who will give you good care and who you can work well with. How to Choose a Doctor Look for a doctor who accepts your insurance and who is in your network (if you have an HMO or PPO) Internists and family practice doctors are good choices for a primary care doctor Ask relatives and friends for recommendations

In Summary: To Stay Healthy, Practice Prevention Eat healthy Exercise regularly Avoid tobacco use and limit alcohol Manage stress Get regular check-ups and recommended health screenings Know your numbers and your family history
