Heart disease strikes earlier in UAE
- United Arab Emirates: Wednesday, October 15 - 2008 at 13:36
A new study by The Gulf Registry of Acute Coronary Events has found that people with acute heart disease are dying five years earlier in the UAE than in other Gulf countries, reported The National. The report compared mortality rates for patients being treated for the condition in hospitals in Bahrain, Yemen, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar and the UAE. It found that, on average, people with acute coronary disease in the UAE died at 52.7 years of age while in the other countries the average was 57.2 years. The report said the cause was a mixture of lifestyle and genes.
