| Annotation | This article uses a demographic approach and data from the Health and Retirement Survey (HRS), a nationally representative sample of the US population, to investigate sex differences in the length of life lived with heart disease and after a heart attack for persons in the United States aged 50 and older. On average, women live longer than men with heart disease. At age 50, women can expect to live 7.9 years and men 6.7 years with heart disease. The average woman experiences heart disease onset three years older and heart attacks 4.4 years older than men. (KJ/RH). |
