The UK Health Security Agency has issued a warning as temperatures plummet, putting people aged 65 and over at increased risk of heart attacks, strokes, and chest infections. This vulnerable group is more susceptible to cardiovascular disease and respiratory problems during cold snaps, highlighting the need for extra precautions and health checks. With the cold weather expected to continue, it's essential for seniors to take preventive measures to reduce their risk of stroke and heart disease, and to seek medical attention immediately if symptoms arise, as timely treatment can significantly improve outcomes for cardiovascular health and overall wellbeing.
