According to the web search results, Filipino men in their 50s and 60s are at greater risk of suffering from cardiovascular diseases (CVD) because of several factors, such as: *Ageing*. As people get older, their heart and blood vessels undergo changes that may increase the risk of CVD. A major cause of CVD is the buildup of fatty deposits (plaque) in the walls of arteries over many years. * Hypertension *. High blood pressure is a major risk factor for CVD, as it can damage the arteries and make them more prone to plaque formation and rupture. According to the Philippine Heart Association, hypertension prevalence in the Philippines increased to 37% in 2021, signaling a “progressive rise” of high blood pressure among Filipinos². Hypertension prevalence was higher among men (52%) than women (48%). * Diabetes *: Diabetes is a condition that affects how the body uses glucose (sugar), which is the main source of energy for the cells.
