Alarming Findings: Just 13% of French Adults Achieve Optimal Heart Health
April 22, 2025 - 13:09
A recent study has unveiled concerning statistics regarding cardiovascular health among French adults. Researchers evaluated the Life’s Essential 8 cardiovascular health (CVH) scores of over 190,000 individuals, discovering that a mere 13% achieved optimal heart health. The findings highlight significant disparities in cardiovascular well-being based on various demographic factors.
Younger adults, females, and those with higher education levels were more likely to score better on the CVH scale. Additionally, lifestyle choices played a crucial role, with healthier habits contributing to improved scores. This study underscores the need for increased awareness and intervention strategies aimed at promoting heart health across diverse populations.
The low percentage of adults with optimal heart health raises important questions about public health initiatives and the effectiveness of current health education programs. As cardiovascular diseases remain a leading cause of mortality, addressing these health disparities is essential for improving overall population health in France.
