AHA aims to increase healthy life expectancy by 2030

I see NOTHING in here that even remotely suggests they will return stroke survivors to a healthy life by getting them 100% recovered. So you as a stroke survivor will continue to be screwed along with your children and grandchildren. Aren't you glad they are so fucking worthless?

AHA aims to increase healthy life expectancy by 2030

 As the number of deaths from CVD and stroke continues to decline, albeit at a slower rate than before, the American Heart Association is striving to increase healthy life expectancy both in the United States and globally, according to a presidential advisory, a statistical update and a policy statement prepared by the organization and published in Circulation.
“We know people are living longer thanks in part to nearly a century of dedicated efforts from volunteers, staff and many invaluable supporters joining the American Heart Association in our fight [against] heart disease and stroke, leading to improvements in disease control and prevention, advancements in medical treatments and improved lifestyle behaviors,” AHA President Robert A. Harrington, MD, FAHA, interventional cardiologist, Arthur L. Bloomfield Professor of Medicine and chairman of the department of medicine at Stanford University, said in a press release. “Unfortunately, not all those years are healthy ones, as the effects of chronic illnesses are increasingly impacting the quality of life of people at a much younger age than in the past.”
Heart disease, stroke statistics
The age-adjusted prevalence of all types of CVD was 10.6%, according to the paper. Men had higher age-adjusted prevalence of the following conditions compared with women:

• CAD (7.2% vs. 4.2%);
• heart disease (11.8% vs. 9.5%);
• stroke (3.3% vs. 2.5%); and
• hypertension (26% vs. 23.1%).

CVD-related death accounted for approximately 17.8 million deaths globally (95% CI, 17.5-18), which increased by 21.1% from 2007 (95% CI, 19.7-22.6), Salim S. Virani, MD, PhD, FAHA, professor of medicine and director of the cardiovascular disease fellowship program at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, staff cardiologist at Michael E. DeBakey Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Houston and chair of the writing group for the statistical update, and colleagues wrote. In contrast, the age-adjusted death per 100,000 population was 233.1 (95% CI, 229.7-236.4), which decreased by 10.3% from 2007 (95% CI, 11.4 to 9.3).

The mean global lifetime risk for stroke increased from 1990 to 2016 (22.8% to 24.9%; relative increase = 8.9%; 95% CI, 6.2-11.5) after adjusting for the competing risk for death by causes other than stroke. The age-adjusted rate for stroke death decreased by 13.6%, although the number of stroke deaths increased by 7.7% from 2007 to 2017.
National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data from 2015 to 2016 determined that the overall prevalence of obesity in young patients was 18.5%. Obesity was also prevalent in 38.3% of adults, according to 2013 to 2016 NHANES data.
