(11/6, Tanner) reports, "Here's a reality check for health-conscious baby boomers: Even among those in good shape, at least 1 in 3 will eventually develop heart problems or have a stroke. The upside is that that will happen about seven years later than for their less healthy peers." That is according to "an analysis of five major studies involving nearly 50,000 adults aged 45 and older who were followed for up to 50 years" presented at the American Heart Association and published online in the Journal of the American Medical Association. The study was paid for by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute.

NBC News (11/6) reports in its "Vitals" blog, "In the study, about four in 10 men and three in 10 women who had normal blood pressure and cholesterol, did not smoke and did not have diabetes at age 55 developed some type of cardiovascular disease later in life." Yet "those with optimal heart health in middle age tended to live more years of their life free of cardiovascular disease. On average, men and women with optimal heart health at age 45 developed cardiovascular disease between eight and 14 years later than those who had at least two risk factors for heart disease at age 45."

HealthDay (11/6) reports, "Overall, US adults have a more than 55 percent estimated risk of developing cardiovascular disease," and "even among those with no major risk factors, the chance of developing cardiovascular disease is more than 30 percent."

MedPage Today (11/6, Kaiser) reports, "Healthy living in middle age can add more than a decade of heart attack-free living to old age." The study also found that "the total cardiovascular risk for men was greater than that for women across all ages." MedPage explained that "researchers pooled survival data from five National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute-funded community-based cohorts: Framingham Heart Study, Framingham Offspring Study, Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study, Chicago Heart Association Detection Project in Industry Study, and Cardiovascular Health Study."
