US EditionNearly 6 in 10 Women in the U.S. May Have Cardiovascular Disease in the Next 25 Years
The American Heart Association projects nearly 60% of U.S. women will have cardiovascular disease by 2050, driven by rising high blood pressure, obesity, and diabetes, with costs exceeding $200 billion annually.
- On February 25, 2026 the American Heart Association published a scientific statement in Circulation projecting that nearly 6 in 10 U.S. women will develop at least one type of cardiovascular disease by 2050.
- Researchers said rising hypertension, obesity and diabetes, along with social determinants of health, drive the forecast, with current prevention efforts deemed inadequate.
- Modelled disease-specific increases include hypertension and total CVD among adult women, with rises across major CVD types.
- Already, more than 62 million women in the U.S. live with cardiovascular disease, costing at least $200 billion annually, and by 2025 nearly one-third of women ages 22 to 44 will have CVD.
- The American Heart Association recommends Life's Essential 8 and targeted programs, noting that a 10% reduction in health factors and better control could lower CVD and stroke events by 17% to 23%.
