Heart disease is among the top five causes of death globally. So what simple steps can you take take, even in your later years, to reduce your risk?
Jonathan talks with Prof. Eric Rimm to try and find out.
Eric Rimm is an Associate Professor of Epidemiology and Nutrition and Director of the Program in Cardiovascular Epidemiology at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

I've been a full time carer for my profoundly disabled child for 15 years , and whilst i would have done nothing differently given another choice and it is very rewarding, the raised stress is considerable. I often feel that people who care 24/7 for loved ones do require more help for there own mental wellness and heart health than is currently considered by those in power.
My story is similar, two adopted children both with PTSD , autism and mental health issues. Now both adult, and both have terrible diets, but after 19 years our home is now finally quiet enough that we can concentrate on our diets and health again.
You are so right. I’ve been caring for my husband who has multiple disabilities from a severe stroke he suffered eight years ago. We’re in Australia and there is very little support or help for carers. My husband can’t be left by himself, so even getting out for a walk is impossible.
@@annephillips1870 I thought that the Commonwealth Government offered pensions and other payments to carers, as well as funding a range of support services through the WA Government and Carers WA.
Would someone remind the Government and NHS Trusts that orthopaedic care is really important for us to remain fit! 8 years of mobility getting progressively worse because I’m too young to get a joint replacement! I do my best. I’ve exercised all my life: walking, cycling, aerobics, steps, yoga, spin classes etc. It’s also been my social life. Now I’m struggling to walk! Consequently, fitness levels and chronic diseases are looming on the horizon. ☹️
Very interesting although would the result be the same for someone in their 60’s.
I much prefer this shorter video.
Useful video. Great length - some of your videos are too long and the message is lost.
Ever read a whole book? Perhaps find a short video on increasing your attention span.

@scha0306. People may suffer from short attention span due to difficult conditions not of their choice.
Put it on 1.5 speed makes it a lot easier. Some podcasts can even be x2 speed.
Blessings for the guidance
Thank you for putting this out.
This is very encouraging! Essentially there is hope for all
I find your shorter videos are easier to digest.
4 choices but a total score out of 5. Does one score 2?
Will this lower the Q risk score I keep being beaten with??
How about people In they're 70's?
😂 My question exactly! Are you writing us off.
I think they normally say 50’s as that typically tends to be when health problems arise
Please K
Jonathon, stop ‘over talking your guests’. Otherwise you’re a great rep for those of us who like to get a simpler explanation of some of the scientific/medical language. Pls keep that up!
The data coding is a blunt instrument. It would be interesting to compare to interval scales--e.g., rating diet quality and exercise on a 1-5 scale.
The Carnivore diet has shown to DRAMATICALLY reduce a person's CAC score. This is a healthy diet. Even in people well past their 50s have experienced these results. You can not out exercise or out supplement bad eating
If I knew this decades ago, I could have led an unhealthy lifestyle, changed around at 50 and reduced my risk by 50 or 60%. But unfortunately I led a too healthy life and so I’m stuck with my risk and no way of lowering it. Unfair.
On BMI I found in my 60s it went down all of its own without dieting. I was over the threshold for healthy - overweight - but weighing myself recently I’m under 25. I was surprised! But I don’t think it’s healthy because the weight probably came down through sarcopenia and bone density loss.
I thought a better index was waist size to height ratio, which if I get it should be less than 0.5 for males. Muscle and bone density doesn’t really alter this ratio as much as body fat.
genetics
Alcohol!!
Does the COVID jab increase the risk of heart problems?
What makes you think it might?
People are too lazy to do this. And that's why I can't afford healthcare. Laziness should be classified as a disease.
BMI is not a good indicator of health.
"Later years" - 40-50. 😂So I guess those who've survived to 60, 70, or beyond, are aberrant, therefore we aren't worth mentioning. 🤣
I can do about 45 minutes comfortably when the videos are longer i do it in parts. How about a study on why we can't concentrate as long as previous generations!
Lucky you. I had to watch a Lex interview 2 weeks ago. They talked (edited) for 4 hours straight; it took me a week to watch!
'A healthy diet' anything but 'Fish and Chips' then is it?
The oldest person living alive in the world today , lives in Portsmouth and eats fish and chips every week 😅
That approach sounds like a - tech/:machine, simple point collection- is pointless- that mumbling like: smokng this, healthy diet that.....- apply to everyone the same - just ridiculous.....
The most important activity is missing here - impacting human biology, chemistry , nervous system and psychology ...and the one wich is so differently associated with all its implications.....
SEX - with all the variety of aspects it is present or not) - only that alone is ranging between from -10 to + 10 points.....the rest is just the background...
I can't listen to Jonathan's patronising tone and stupid questions and summaries
A little harsh Ellie! But I agree that I wish there were less summaries or they were expressed differently because it is a little patronising.
