PRIORITISE SLEEP, MOVE YOUR BODY, AND KNOW YOUR NUMBERS, SAY THE EXPERTS. BY CAMILLA FOSTER
-
THE start of the 2020s has been “the worst start to a decade for heart health for half a century”, according to the British Heart Foundation (BHF).
A new analysis by the heart health charity found that cardiovascular deaths in working age adults have risen by 18% since 2019, from 18,693 to 21,975 in 2023, averaging 420 a week.
