Young adults who experienced intimate partner violence may face higher cardiac risks later
American Heart AssociationReports and Proceedings
One or more episodes of violence with an intimate partner or family member may increase a young adult’s risk of having a heart attack, stroke or heart failure hospitalization later in life, according to a study with almost 30 years of follow-up.
People who reported having had at least one exposure to domestic violence in the past year at the beginning of the study also had higher rates of self-reported alcohol use, smoking and depression. With 1 in 4 women in the U.S. experiencing some form of intimate partner violence, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and heart disease being the leading cause of death in this country, a better understanding is needed of how these public health issues may be connected, researchers said.

Study finds people who need wearable health devices the most use them the least
American Heart AssociationReports and Proceedings
Age, education and income are associated with less use of wearable health devices among people with and at risk for cardiovascular disease. The study also found that more than 80% of wearable health device users at risk for cardiovascular disease, would be willing to share the health information tracked by the device with their health care team to improve their care, regardless of age, education, income, gender or race and ethnicity. Increasing equitable access and promoting wearables as health devices may help improve health and decrease health disparities, according to the researchers.
