History of Women’s Health
Past (10-15 years ago)
Heart attacks misdiagnosed
Standard diagnostic tests
Screenings were unimportant
Lack of communication
Present
Symptoms in women are well known and treated effectively
More reliable testing (gender specific)
Screenings and prevention are extremely important
Easier and more supportive environment

Heart Disease“The Silent Killer”
#1 killer in both women and men
2/3 of women who suffer a heart attack do not make a full recovery.
500,000 women die yearly
Study from American Heart Association identifies how many women considered heart disease as the #1 killer.

The Problem??Heart disease in women is difficult to diagnose
Why?1. Don’t show a clear clog
2. Women tend to down play their own symptoms

Lung Cancer 79% of lung cancer is caused by smoking. More Americans die from lung cancer than from breast, prostate and colorectal cancers
combined.
Risk Factors:k
• Smoking and being around others' smoke
• Things around us at home or work (such as radon gas)
• Personal traits (such as having a family history of lung cancer)

Screening Saves Lives You should begin screening for colorectal cancer soon
after turning 50. It is estimated that at least 50%–60% of colorectal cancer
deaths could be prevented if all men and women aged 50 years or older were screened routinely.

The Average WomenThe Average Women
Loses about 5 pounds of muscle every decade. Adds about 10 pounds of fat every decade. Reduces her muscle mass by 1/3 by the age of 50.
Strength loss is 12-14% per decade after the age of 50.
Can have half her original muscle tissue by 60, with a high percentage of body fat
Might not have enough muscle mass. This will absolutely increase the risk of serious problems such as lower back pain, heart disease, stroke, diabetes and bone loss.

Train to MaintainTrain to Maintain
Between the ages of 40-70 it is estimated that our fat free mass declines by 40%!
Each pound of lean tissue burns approximately 35 to 50 calories per day. A loss of just ½ lb. Of muscle could cause weight gain of almost 3 pounds in 1 year.
This could extend to 25 pounds in 10 years, 50 pounds in 20 years and 75 pounds in 30 years!
