Well done once again on your achievement and thank you for supporting the heart health of New Zealanders. Nelson Events was proud to host the information for this event on this website. For more information on the Go Red for Women campaign or any of the National Heart Foundation activities, contact Averil West, on (03) 545 7112 Each day 16 New Zealanders die as a result of coronary heart disease. That's one person every 90 minutes. And many of these deaths are premature and preventable. Cardiovascular disease (heart, stroke & blood vessel disease) is the single leading cause of death in New Zealand. It causes 40 percent of all deaths annually in our country - making it more deadly than all forms of cancer. The nature of who is affected by it is changing. New research shows that young adults in their 20s and 30s are being admitted to hospital for heart attacks more than ever before, and that this age group is dying at a faster rate than people of the same age in previous generations. Much of this change is due to unhealthy lifestyles - poor eating habits, lack of physical activity and being a smoker. But the good news is that many risk factors for heart disease are preventable, if people make healthy lifestyle choices. Many people don't realise that heart disease is the leading single cause of death in women. It kills four times as many women as breast cancer - and while breast cancer is an important health issue - New Zealand women need to be just as vigilant about their heart health. In New Zealand, more than seven women die from heart disease every day. But the good news is that heart disease is largely preventable. Go Red for Women is the Heart Foundation's campaign to boost awareness of heart disease in women and to raise vital funds for heart research and cardiac care. Go Red for Women is also about empowering women with the knowledge to take action now, care for their heart and help reduce their risk.
