Risk Factor: Anything that increases a person’s chance of getting a disease. Having a risk factor for a disease means that a person is more likely to develop the disease at some point in their lives.
Risk factors you can’t control are on the right side. It is important to know your family health history.
Age – The older you get the more likely you are to develop heart disease or have a stroke,
Gender – Women account for more than half of all stroke deaths.
Heredity & race – If your brother, father or grandfather had a heart attach before age 55 or your sister, mother or grandmother had one before age 65 you may be at risk. If you have had a heart attack, your at a higher risk of having a second one or a stroke. Your stroke risk is greater if a parent, grandparent sister or brother had a stroke. African Americans have higher rates of cardiovascular disease and stroke than Caucasians.
Risk factors – you can control are on the left. These are lifestyle related risk factors.
Hint: #1 weighs less than a can of soda, it’s about the size of a fist, and operates about 100,000 times a day.
Women are at more risk than ever with the high rate of obesity and diabetes
Unhealthy habits account for 82% of heart disease in women. As a result behavior change is extremely important in preventing heart disease.
-Death rates from heart disease increases for women over the age of 65
**Possibly add in something about behavior change process
Hallmark symptoms: chest pain and difficulty breathing
2 ½ million American women are hospitalized for heart disease every year, and one out of every three of them die.
Discuss prevention: BSE and getting CBE’s
Hand out BSE card
**Further information on the risk factors can be found on the Susan G Komen website
Lung Cancer is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in one or both of the lungs.
1- 79% of lung cancer is caused by smoking, 1 out of 4 cancer deaths is lung cancer and nearly 1 out of 8 newly diagnosed cancers among women.
2. There are 70,000 US Cancer deaths in women in the US (ACS, 2007)
3. Statistic activity:
Cut statistics on little pieces of paper and have audience read stats.
In 2003, 69,000 women in U.S. died from lung cancer
79% of lung cancers are caused by smoking
**cut up these statistics and have audience read them.
In NH 700 women die yearly from smoking
33,100 kids in NH under the age of 18 today will die prematurely from smoking (2006).
300 kids under the age of 18 have lost their moms to smoking
Source: Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids, updated 2006
Other risks for women who smoke are stroke, cataracts, poor circulation, high blood pressure, skin conditions, premature aging, wrinkles, cancers of the mouth and all throughout the body, emphysema, etc.

A stroke occurs when an artery that carries blood, oxygen and nutrients to the brain either bursts or is blocked by a clot. When this happens the brain can’t get the blood and oxygen it needs and it starts to die.
Blood flow cut off from brain = cerebrovascular disease
Blood flow bursts= aneurysm
Age= chance of having a stroke increases after the age 55
- A stroke in the US occurs every 45 seconds. Of every 5 deaths from stroke: 2 occur in men and 3 in women (American Stroke Association, 2007)
Stroke in NH:
#3 leading cause death in females
2003 nearly 54% of all heart disease and stroke deaths in NH occurred in females.

Cholesterol comes from 2 places – from the food you eat and your body produces it. Cholesterol is a waxy, fat like substance that your body needs to make hormones, vitamin D and bile acids that aid in the digestion of fat. It is found in all cells of the body.
LDL: “bad cholesterol” carries most of the cholesterol in the blood. Too much LDL can lead to buildup and blockage of arteries.
HDL: “good cholesterol” works as “garbage truck” – transports LDL cholesterol from other parts of the body to the liver for disposal.
Your body makes cholesterol based on your family history. Other cholesterol comes from whole dairy products, eggs, animal fats and red meat. Overtime, cholesterol and fat are deposited in the inner walls of the arteries that supply blood to your heart. This buildup can lead to heart attack, stroke and death.
Have your cholesterol checked starting at age 20 once every 5 years. Blood chol. Is measured in milligrams per deciliter ( 1/10th of a liter)
Reduce your high cholesterol by limiting foods with saturated fats, trans fats and consuming low and non fat dairy products and exercise.
