I think this is one of the most practical reasons to take up Krishna consciousness at Young age.!!!!Pada pada Yad Vipadam…there is danger at every step of life.!!!!Men face 1 in 8 lifetime risk of suffering sudden cardiac death after 40.The Wall Street Journal (11/16, Winslow) reports that Northwestern University scientists have found that after their 40th year of life, American men will have a one-in-eight lifetime risk of suffering sudden cardiac death. To put that figure into perspective, they pointed out that for women, the risk is one in 24. The estimates are the result of a meta-analysis in which investigators reviewed three well-known community-based longitudinal studies.According to the paper in the New England Journal of Medicine, those studies yielded “data on nearly 5,000 US adults,” who were followed from the age of 40 until they reached their 95th year, HealthDay (11/15, Gardner) reported. “African-American men had roughly twice the risk as white men at any given age, while black and white women had roughly the same risk all the way through.” Nevertheless, until now, “estimates have focused on a person’s risk of sudden cardiac death over the next 10 years,” explained lead investigator Dr. Donald Lloyd-Jones. “These new numbers are the first lifetime estimates for sudden cardiac death.”–Dr.Prashant A.
