STUDY SHOW CONSTIPATION - HEART RISK
A MONASH University-led study links constipation to a higher risk of major adverse cardiac events (MACE), including heart attacks and strokes. Analysing data from over 400,000 participants, researchers found constipated individuals were twice as likely to experience MACE. Constipation also increased risks in hypertensive patients by 34%. Genetic correlations suggest shared factors between gut and heart health. With 14% of the global population affected, the study highlights gut health's role in cardiovascular disease prevention.
