Heart-related diseases 1st cause of Moroccan adults mortality since 1994
Morocco, Health, 10/9/2004
Heart-related problems represent the first cause of mortality of Moroccan adults, with a 22.1% rate, since 1994, said experts in a symposium on Atherothrombosis in Casablanca.
Atherothrombosis has been in progress for years, and is due to many factors including obesity, hyperlipemy, hypertension, diabetes and smoking.
According to the World Health Organization, the prevalence of heart diseases depends on the countries' development level. These diseases are the cause of 10 percent of 40 million annual deaths in developing countries.
WHO expects heart-related diseases to become a major cause of the degradation of world health conditions by 2010.
