A paltry nine per cent of Canadian adults – fewer than one in 10 – meet the criteria for “ideal” cardiovascular health, a new study based on nearly half a million Canadians says.
The heart health of the nation’s youth is only marginally better, with only 17 per cent of those aged 12 to 19 – fewer than one in five – getting top scores for healthy behaviours.
