Is cardiovascular disease a natural effect of aging?

The risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) increases steadily with age among men and women living in advanced industrial societies such as ours, and a normal decline in cardiovascular functioning does seem to occur with age, but this is not disease, and whether or not age itself is inevitably a risk factor for CVD is open to debate. More likely, the increased risk of disease that comes with age is mostly the result of the accumulating consequences of years of bad habits; in cultures where people are generally more vigorous, atherosclerosis, hypertension, heart attack, and stroke are rare or all but nonexistent at any age.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
