These misconceptions perpetuate inadequate attention to modifiable risk factors in women, such as dyslipidemia, hypertension, and cigarette smoking. Furthermore, since women in the United States live on average about 5 years longer than men, the majority of the disease burden for many age-related disorders (e.g., hypertension, Alzheimer’s disease [AD]) rests in women.
