Women who identify as lesbian or bisexual may have a greater risk for heart disease, according to a new study by the American Heart Association (AHA).
Gay and bisexual men, on the other hand, are usually at lower risk of heart disease than men who identify as heterosexual, the study authors found — as long as those gay and bisexual men don’t live in rural areas.
The first-of-its-kind study, published in the Journal of the American Heart Association, reveals the complex relationship between sexuality and the risk factors for cardiovascular diseases, a broad category of health conditions that includes heart attacks, stroke, atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), heart failure and arrhythmias.

Maybe the mojitos and mocha frappuccino are healthy for you?
Just one moment of rational thought would render this article as BS.
IOW, men and women face different heart attack risks.
Who would have guessed?
Just off the top of my head, it seems reasonable to imagine that if these differences are that obvious, they just might have something to do with lifestyle, not genes or environment. Not saying that nothing should be done to help, but perhaps one might want to look a bit deeper before the sure-to-come demand that “funding” is needed for (insert whatever reasons sound good here).
But then, what do I know? I’ll never be as smart as low T journalism majors and “researchers” who just might have some sort of an agenda.
Just sayin’.
Seriously. This is the easiest thing in the world to figure out. Lesbians REVEL in the fact that they don’t have to bother to look good for anyone. Gay men work like dogs to stay viable in the meat market, so they work out like crazy. Of course there are exceptions, but anyone with eyes gets this.
Would it be better if white straight folk were at greatest risk for all diseases? Is that the standard of justice?
Yes. A half million dollar federal grant to discover that lesbians are fat because they eat more and exercise less.
Of course fag me would have a lower risk. There’s a lot less of that pesky testosterone.
Gay guys tend to be thin and eat well.and of course they don't have to take care of a family so have plenty of time to stay healthy.
on the other hand, HIV and retroviral therapy increases your chance of a heart attack.
Yes, very important information, apparently. I’d do it for half that much and provide results in a day.
Might have something to do with being attractive to the opposite sex that tends to make humans push themselves to look trim. Same thing with women looking at men — women don’t typically go after fat, out of shape, balding men. Yes, the process of human partner selection can be cruel but it is what it is.
And maybe being fat is less important to women seeking other women who are also fat. Fat = fat.
There ya go, now pay up and pay me my $250K.
