Young women in cardiac rehabilitation exhibit significant physiological and psychosocial disparities, leading to higher risk of nonadherence and worse outcomes compared to older women.
Are there differences in physiological and psychosocial profiles between young and older women enrolled in cardiac rehabilitation?
Young women in cardiac rehabilitation exhibit distinct physiological and psychosocial profiles compared to older women, increasing their risk for nonadherence to secondary prevention and subsequent adverse cardiac events.
Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 0%
Notable differences in physiological and psychosocial profiles of young women compared with older women enrolled in CR were evident, placing them at high risk for nonadherence to secondary prevention interventions as well as increased risk for disease progression and subsequent cardiac adverse events. Continued existence of these health differentials represents an important public health problem and warrants further research to address these age-related and sex-specific health disparities among women with coronary heart disease.
