أوجاع القلب.. السبب الرئيسي للموت

A comprehensive study published in the medical journal "The Lancet" confirmed that cardiovascular diseases remain the leading cause of death globally, with approximately 19.2 million deaths recorded in 2023, accounting for more than a third of deaths worldwide. The study, conducted by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington, indicated that this figure has risen compared to 13.1 million deaths in 1990, suggesting an increasing health burden on medical systems. The results showed that obesity, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, smoking, and exposure to air pollution are among the main risk factors contributing to mortality. The data also revealed that men are affected at a higher rate than women, with clear gaps between developed and developing countries in terms of years of life lost and the quality of healthcare. Researchers urged governments to enhance health awareness campaigns, intensify early screenings, and improve lifestyle patterns through physical activity, healthy nutrition, and smoking cessation.
