The theme of World Heart Day, ‘How Young is Your Heart’ addresses prevention of cardiovascular diseases by controlling three major risk factors: diet, physical activity and tobacco use. Activities worldwide are organised by cardiology societies and heart foundations as well as, cardiac clinics, universities, and schools, to encourage people, young and old, to adopt a heart-healthy lifestyle to help maintain a young heart for life.

World Heart Day, held annually on the last Sunday in September, aims at increasing public awareness and promoting preventive measures to reduce cardiovascular diseases, such as heart disease and stroke. These are the leading cause of death globally, killing more than 17 million in 2005.

Date: 24th September 2006
