Check out this page on Statistics. They are quite motivating. Think of all the important women in your life.
The numbers tell all!
If you're too busy to read the whole thing, I'll recap some of the info:
More than 1/3 of adult females has Cardiovascular Disease.
Since '84, the # of cardio disease for females has exceeded those for males (i mean, i know we exceed in a lot of things, but this shouldn't be one of them!)
Females represent 52.1% of deaths from CVD.
This year an estimated 515,000 women will have a new and recurrent MI and fatal CHD (please don't let this be you!)
64% percent of women who died suddenly of CHD had no previous symptoms. (FHS, NHLBI) OK, WHAT!?
About 370,000 will have a new and recurrent MI. (ARIC [1987–2004], NHLBI)
Women account for about 6 in 10 stroke deaths.
