A new study from researchers at Harvard Medical School looked at a decade’s worth of data from over 10K people who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) to determine stages of cardiovascular, kidney, and metabolic (CKM) diseases, which is a group of disorders that are interrelated and can lead to #heartdisease if left unchecked. They found that 90% of American adults met the criteria for early, middle or late stages of CKM syndrome. Additionally, 15% were categorized as having advanced disease – and given this number remained consistent, the researchers hypothesized that the #obesity epidemic may be playing a part. #HighBloodPressureMonth
