Elevated heart disease risk faced by cancer survivors: Study

A new study has found that about 35 per cent of Americans with a cancer history had an elevated risk of cardiovascular disease in the next decade, compared with about 23 per cent of those who didn't have cancer.

Based on a risk calculator that estimates a person's 10-year chances of developing heart disease or stroke, researchers from The Ohio State University found that the average estimated 10-year risk for a cancer survivor was about 8 per cent, compared to 5 per cent, for those who didn't have a history of cancer.

The new study appears in the journal PLOS ONE.

"We know that obesity, cancer and cardiovascular disease share some common risk factors, and in addition to those shared risk factors, cancer patients also receive treatments including radiation and chemotherapy that can affect their cardiovascular health - we call that cardiotoxicity," said lead researcher Xiaochen Zhang, a PhD candidate in Ohio State's College of Public Health.

Middle-Aged Americans Are Underprepared for Retirement, Study Finds [Video]

Middle-Aged Americans Are Underprepared for Retirement, Study Finds

Middle-Aged Americans Are, Underprepared for Retirement, , Study Finds. 'Newsweek' reports that people in the United States who are approaching retirement age may be critically underprepared when it comes to their savings. According to Prudential Investments, Americans around the age of 55 are facing a "midlife retirement crisis," lacking the funds for a comfortable post-working life. . A recent survey by the major insurance provider found the average retirement savings of a 55-year-old to be $47,950. . This falls significantly short of the recommended goal of having eight times a person's annual income saved by the time they reach 55. . According to the survey, 57% of 55-year-olds said they expected to outlive the funds they have currently managed to save. That's compared to 59% of 65-year-olds and 52% of 75-year-olds. The survey also found that one-third of 55-year-olds and 43% of 65-year-olds have already been forced to postpone retirement due to inflation. Attention today is rightly centered on the approximately 11,000 65-year-olds entering retirement every week, but we must also focus as an industry on the opportunity to help a slightly younger generation of workers entering the critical 10-year countdown to retirement, Caroline Feeney, executive vice president and head of Prudential's U.S. Businesses, via 'Newsweek'. Further, the financial futures of certain cohorts—such as women—are especially precarious, Caroline Feeney, executive vice president and head of Prudential's U.S. Businesses, via 'Newsweek'. The upside is that, with the right planning and strategy to protect their life's work, we can ensure this generation is well-prepared to live not only longer, but better, Caroline Feeney, executive vice president and head of Prudential's U.S. Businesses, via 'Newsweek'
