SRV Media
New Delhi [India], September 28: As the world prepares to celebrate World Heart Day on September 29th, Metropolis Healthcare, India’s leading diagnostic service provider, unveils key heart health trends. These insights stem from a comprehensive 5-year data analysis of test outcomes from patients who have chosen Metropolis’ wellness package ‘TruHealth.’ Designed to empower individuals in effectively monitoring and optimizing their inner health parameters, 'TruHealth' packages offer valuable insights into health risks, provide health recommendations, send regular reminders, and more. These packages are thoughtfully tailored for various age groups, meeting specific customer needs. The 5-year data study encompassed 31,533 patients under the age of 40 across India, and the following critical findings were revealed:
*      Youth Heart Health Concerns: The study revealed that nearly 1 in 4 individuals under 18 had elevated triglyceride levels, likely linked to their lifestyle and dietary choices. What’s even more concerning is that over 30% of these young adults exhibited low levels of "good" HDL cholesterol, indicating a heightened risk of early-onset heart diseases.
*      Middle-Aged Risk: Among those aged 31-40, representing 57.94% of the study group, almost 17% had elevated triglyceride levels, a clear indicator of potential cardiovascular risks within this age group.
*     Cholesterol Awareness: Over the course of five years, approximately 15% of all 31,533 patients had high triglycerides, with an additional 14% displaying borderline high levels. Furthermore, 7% of the total patient population showed high total cholesterol levels, while more than 20% hovered at borderline levels, increasing their susceptibility to future heart-related complications.
*      Gender Differences: It is noteworthy that males, constituting a significant portion of the 31,533 patients, generally displayed slightly elevated lipid levels compared to their female counterparts, raising pertinent questions about their heart health.
*      Diabetes Impact: The study also uncovered unsettling data regarding diabetes. Over 10% of the patients were diagnosed as diabetic, and more than a third were identified as pre-diabetic based on HbA1C levels. These findings suggest a potential link between diabetes and future heart ailments.
These findings underscore the critical importance of proactive heart health monitoring, especially among young individuals, and emphasize the need for increased awareness about cardiovascular health and prevention measures.
