You're listening to our weekly science news roundup.

First up, a worrying prediction about women's heart health.

A new analysis by American Heart Association researchers released last Wednesday in its journal circulation,

projects that almost 60% of women will have some form of cardiovascular disease by 2050.

That's a jump from nearly 50% in 2020.

The significant increase, according to the scientific statement, will be led by a rise in hypertension

or high blood pressure.

That's when the force of blood on the artery walls is too high, forcing the heart to work harder.

Hypertension, which can go undetected because it often has no symptoms, is a leading driver

of stroke and can also trigger heart attacks.

The paper estimates that rates of diabetes will increase from roughly 15% to 25% over that same time period,

alongside smaller but still significant increases in coronary heart disease and stroke.

Perhaps the most striking part of the projection is that while cardiovascular diseases will continue to be most common among older women,

the rates for younger women are likely to increase significantly.
