Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Cardiovascular Health, Stroke and Heart Attack: Discussion

Mr. Chris Macey:

I do not have that figure off the top of my head. With stroke, the number of deaths among women is much higher than among men. It can be something like 25% to 30% higher, which is, to some extent, down to women having greater longevity than men. With regard to heart disease, I am not quite sure what the current statistics are.
