As heart disease is most commonly associated with the process of aging, we frequently read about the importance of heart health among adult men and women. In fact, according to the Cleveland Clinic, heart failure is the leading cause of hospitalization for patients 65 years and older, so it’s understandable as to why the older demographics tends to garner the most attention. https://www.philly.com/health/small-changes-that-can-make-big-impact-kids-heart-health-20190219.html
