Data predict ‘worrisome’ increase in CV risk factors, CVD by 2060

Researchers project a substantial increase in CV risk factors, including a 40% increase in diabetes and a 30% increase in hypertension, along with a parallel rise in CVD by 2060, likely stressing an already burdened health care system.
Using a model based on 2013-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data combined with 2020 U.S. Census projection counts for 2025 to 2060, researchers found the prevalence of CV risk factors and CVD will continue to rise with “worrisome trends.” The analysis, published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, also
