The Impact of Coronary Heart Disease in Women among Age 18 - 25 Years Old, in Mogadishu, Somalia

Dr. Mohamed Osman Ahmed

Abstract: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of mortality worldwide, with unhealthy lifestyle behaviors being a major contributing factor. Emerging adulthood, a period of development between adolescence and full adulthood, is characterized by behaviors that may threaten health and increase CVD risk. College attendance is associated with unhealthy lifestyle behaviors that increase CVD risk, with emerging adults from rural areas potentially being at greater risk due to environmental barriers and socioeconomic disadvantage. This review summarizes the literature on CVD risk among emerging adults attending college in rural areas, highlighting the importance of addressing CVD in high - risk environments. Understanding the unique challenges and risk factors faced by this population can inform the development of targeted interventions to promote healthy lifestyle behaviors and decrease CVD risk.

Keywords: Cardiovascular disease (CVD), Mortality, Decreased CVD risk
