How common is heart attack among youth?
1.7 crore people die every year due to heart diseases worldwide. In India, about 30 lakh people fall victim to cardio vascular diseases every year. The most shocking thing in this is that 50% of the total heart attack cases in the country are of people below 50 years of age and 25% are of people below 40 years of age. Between 2000 and 2016, the rate of heart attack in this young age group has increased by 2% every year.
What are the symptoms of premature heart attack?
There is an epidemic of heart diseases and diabetes in India at this time. Young people are also falling prey to it. In many cases it has been seen that a heart attack comes suddenly without any symptoms and death occurs before reaching the hospital. Symptoms appear in many cases before a heart attack. Such as chest pain, heaviness and tightness, feeling like acidity, pain in the left shoulder or left hand, shortness of breath.
What are the factors of heart attack in youth?
Tobacco use is one of the biggest risk factors for heart disease. 26% of heart disease in people in the age group of 30 to 44 is caused by tobacco use. Also, poor sleep patterns and stress make this situation more frightening. More than 70 million people in India have diabetes. This includes many young people as well. This increases the risk of heart attack in the Indian population.
How can youth avoid heart attack?
By changing the lifestyle, the risk of premature heart attack can be reduced significantly. Walking, cycling, jogging and swimming reduce the risk of heart attack by 30%. One should walk at least 10 thousand steps daily.
Instead of junk food, one should eat healthy food, which includes vegetables, fruits, nuts, soy and low fat dairy products. Trans fatty acids are used in fast food, chips, biscuits etc., so these should be avoided.
Tobacco and alcohol should not be consumed. Time management should be learned. Nowadays people spend more time on laptops and desks, so yoga and exercise are very important for heart health. Apart from this, precaution is very important. Youth should get their hearts checked regularly, so that blockage can be detected in time.
