Did you know?
Did you know that Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in Australia & New Zealand; killing one Australian every 12 minutes & accounts for 40% of death annually in NZ! This affects 3.7 million people, which equates to two out of three families and claimed the lives of 45,500 Australians in 2010 - These are alarming statistics, but fortunately, many of these deaths are largely preventable.

Heart Disease Facts:  Cardiovascular Disease kills 1 Australian every 12 min!  Approximately 1 in 2 New Zealanders are obese or overweight.  Coronary heart disease or heart disease affects around 1.4 million Australians & causes 16 deaths a day in NZ.  Over 380,000 Australians have had a heart attack at some time in their lives.

Things could be different, if you realise the risk factors; these include high blood pressure & cholesterol, overweight and obesity,( 2011/12 Close to two in every three adult Australians are overweight or obese, with 28.3% obese and 35% overweight.) physical inactivity, low fruit and vegetable intake, alcohol and smoking. Nine in 10 adult Aussies have at least one risk factor for CVD and one in four have three or more!
