Heart disease is worse in the present than in the past. First: people are living longer. That means hearts have more time to degenerate. Second: people are fatter. That means fat is clogging arteries leading to the heart. Third: People are walking less. That causes the arteries to lose flexibility and become harder. The only positive feature is that people are smoking less. That causes less damage. So, getting older, fatter, and lazier makes heart disease worse.
