A new American Heart Association scientific statement published Feb. 25, 2026 in Circulation projects that cardiovascular risk factors such as high blood pressure, obesity and diabetes will become more common among U.S. women by 2050, with particularly steep increases forecast for some younger women and for several racial and ethnic groups.
A Yale School of Medicine-led study of nearly 1 million post-9/11 U.S. veterans found that people diagnosed with both insomnia and obstructive sleep apnea had substantially higher rates of new-onset hypertension and cardiovascular disease than those with only one of the conditions.

A large UK study of over 33,000 low-activity adults has found that accumulating daily steps in longer, uninterrupted sessions is linked to significantly lower risks of early death and cardiovascular disease, compared to short bursts of walking. The research, published in Annals of Internal Medicine, suggests that how steps are grouped matters as much as total step count for those walking fewer than 8,000 steps per day.
Walking in bouts of 10–15 minutes or longer was associated with substantially lower cardiovascular risk among adults taking fewer than 8,000 steps a day, with 15‑minute‑plus bouts tied to about a two‑thirds lower risk than very short walks, according to research published in Annals of Internal Medicine.

A major trial has shown that the weight-loss drug Wegovy reduces cardiovascular risks independently of weight loss. The benefits apply even to those with mild obesity. Researchers analyzed data from over 17,000 participants to reach this conclusion.
