As you can see in this bar chart which is shows the difference in this three group of age in the USA between men and women heat attacks .In general men have more heart attacks than women.
In the age group between 29 - 44 less than 6% of all heart attacks. The number of women who suffer heart attacks in this group is negligible – only 3000 per year, compared to 123000 men.
However the proportion of men and women with heart attacks rises dramatically between 45 and 64, with over half a million per year. Over 420000 men a year in this age group have heart attacks. The incidence amongst women increases – women have one heart attack for every three men in this age group.
Over the age of 65, the number of men suffering heart attacks only increases slightly. However there is a huge increase in the number of women with heart attacks – they comprise over 40% f all victims.
In conclusion, men are more likely to be the victims of heart attacks at all ages, but women are increasingly likely over the age of 65.
