Beyond the metaphor young at heart

• India has a large youth population, but cardiovascular diseases are increasingly affecting younger individuals aged 20-40.

• Recent data shows that 50% of heart attack patients in this age group are under 40 years old, indicating a health crisis.

• Modern lifestyle factors such as sedentary routines, long work hours, and poor diet contribute significantly to this trend.

• Dr. Refai Showkathali and Dr. Sengottuvelu G. highlight that lifestyle has overtaken genetics as a primary risk factor, attributing poor heart health to hyper-competition, smoking, drinking, and lack of sleep.

• Early recognition of symptoms such as chest pain, breathlessness, and extreme fatigue is critical for young adults.

• Recommendations for proactive heart health include regular screenings, personalized dietary approaches, and public education on heart disease symptoms.

• Government initiatives like the National Programme for Prevention and Control of Cancer, Diabetes, Cardiovascular Diseases, and Stroke aim to enhance healthcare and treatment access.

• A significant challenge remains: only 25% of Indians can accurately identify heart disease symptoms, underscoring the need for improved public awareness and better training for health workers.

• Fostering awareness and lifestyle changes among the youth is essential for the nation’s overall health and future resilience.
