Cardiovascular disease is a major cause of disability and premature death throughout the world, and contributes substantially to the escalating costs of health care. The underlying pathology is atherosclerosis, which develops over many years and is usually advanced by the time symptoms occur, generally in middle age.

The Department of Health (DOH), together with the World Health Organization (WHO), Resolve to Save Lives (RTSL), and World Heart Federation (WHF), today staged the Heart Care Summit 2022: Preventing and Beating Cardiovascular Diseases to highlight actions needed to prevent deaths caused by cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and noncommunicable diseases (NCDs).
Overweight and obese children are more likely to stay obese into adulthood and to develop noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) like diabetes and cardiovascular diseases at a younger age. For most NCDs resulting from obesity, the risks depend partly on the age of onset and on the duration of obesity. Obese children and adolescents suffer from both ...
Being overweight or obese can have a serious impact on health. Carrying extra fat leads to serious health consequences such as cardiovascular disease (mainly heart disease and stroke), type 2 diabetes, musculoskeletal disorders like osteoarthritis, and some cancers (endometrial, breast and colon). These conditions cause premature death and ...
