HEART DISEASE RISING IN THE UAE
September 23, 2005
The mortality rate for heart disease in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is expected to rise to between 50% and 60% in the next decade, according to top cardiologists in the country. The rising incidence of such cases is being blamed on the increasing prevalence of sedentary "Western lifestyles" and unhealthy diets.
In the Middle East region it is estimated that only 8.1% of the population eat fruit and vegetables regularly, and just 4% frequently exercise. Meanwhile, in the UAE approximately 75% of women over 30 are overweight, with this rate at some 70% for men over 30. Health officials fear that unless the problem is addressed, it will strain on the country's overstretched public sector healthcare system.
