Wear Red Day: Women's Heart Health & Hidden Risk Factors

1. NEJM Article (2024): A 30-year study of 27,939 U.S. women found that high-sensitivity CRP, LDL cholesterol, and lipoprotein(a) independently predicted cardiovascular risk. Higher levels of these biomarkers increased the risk of major cardiovascular events, emphasizing the need for early screening and prevention in women. 2. BrJSportsMed Article (2024): A study of 13,018 women found that even 1–3 minutes/day of vigorous intermittent lifestyle physical activity (VILPA) significantly reduced cardiovascular risk. Women engaging in 3.4 minutes/day had a 45% lower MACE risk and 67% lower heart failure risk, highlighting VILPA as a simple yet effective prevention strategy.
