Cardio Vascular Disease, the disease of the heart and blood vessels, is one of the leading causes of death known today. A low level of vitamin D is an independent risk factor for CVD. Even younger people also become victims of this deadly disease.
A survey was conducted among rural women, 27% African American and 74% White, to examine relationships among race, cardio vascular risk factors, physical characteristics and socioeconomic status. It was revealed that African American women in the study were significantly less educated and had a lower income and a higher Body Mass Index (BMI), than the White women. The Black women had a higher incidence of cardio vascular disease as compared to the White women.
