Program Overview:
It’s a fact. More American women die each year from cardiovascular disease than from any other cause, including breast cancer. Yet, most women fail to make the connection between cardiovascular disease risk factors and their personal risk for heart disease. In this program, leading medical and nutrition experts provide an update on women and cardiometabolic syndrome, including the latest research and trends; how women differ from men with regard to risk factors, disease development and treatment; and effective nutrition and lifestyle strategies that can help your female patients and clients reduce their personal heart disease risk.
Learning Objectives:
After completing this self-study learning module, health professionals will be able to:
- Recognize the most significant risk factors for cardiometabolic syndrome in women and differences in risk between women and men.
- Describe the incidence of cardiometabolic syndrome and related risk factors.
- Apply research-based principles of medical nutrition therapy to manage and reduce the risk for cardiometabolic syndrome.
