Who is not voting for Obama because he is 2 to 3 times more likely to get heart disease than John McCain?
“Adult African-Americans have higher heart weight — a condition that can lead to serious heart disease — at two to three times the rates of whites, researchers from UT Southwestern Medical Center have shown.The researchers discovered that within the general population, African-American patients have a higher rate of increased heart weight, or left-ventricular hypertrophy, than whites regardless of their differences in body fat and overall body composition. The study, available online, was to be published in an upcoming issue of Hypertension: Journal of the American Heart Association.Elevated blood pressure seemed to be the best indicator of why African-Americans in the study had a higher rate of left-ventricular hypertrophy or LVH, the UT Southwestern research team found.”Doesn’t this seem as illogical as not voting for McCain because he may develop alzheimers. Even though the two candidates are perfectly healthy.http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2005/06/050608053213.htm
