Latinas have higher rates of many risk factors for heart disease, including obesity, physical inactivity, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, and hypertension, than white women
It is estimated that over 50% of Latinas born in the year 2000 will develop diabetes. CHD is the leading cause of death in diabetics.
