One in nine women aged 45-64 has some form of cardiovascular disease; the ratio after age 65 soars to 1 in 3. Women have higher death rate within a year after a heart attack and a greater chance of a second heart attack than men. 52.6% women over 55 have high blood pressure; 67.5% over 65 have high blood pressure. Cardiovascular disease (C.V.D.), is the number one killer of Weld County women as well (247 residents died last year). Given the increase risks as women age for C.V.D. the cessation of estrogen production and recent reports of cancer causing effects of estrogen replacements, the consumer faces a puzzling decision. The mixed messages in eating choices, weight management and exercise also substantiates the need for the "Her Healthy Heart" workshop. The goals of the workshop was to inform women thru education of the risk factors, action steps they can take based on their individual assessments and update on current research and treatment. The workshop gave women the opportunity to take advantage of five assessments: blood pressure, body fat analysis, dietary analysis, cholesterol check and blood lipid test panel. A total of 42 assessments were conducted on 30 women. Lectures were given by six speakers on: estrogen, menopause, and heart disease (Dr. Marc Ringel), heart disease treatment (Dr. Fernando Riveron), eating choices and labeling (Dr. Jennifer Anderson), stress reduction (Dr. Heidi Wohlrabe), weight management (Terri Sieg) and exercise options (Lynne Parks). At the start of the day, Joanie Zimmer, a nurse shared her story of having a heart attack in her mid-thirties. Heart healthy lunches were served and nutrient analysis were provided to illustrate what was being taught. Participant evaluations indicated that the workshop helped(96%)increase awareness of their personal risk factors; exceptionally (67%) helpful in creating a positive outlook towards lifestyle changes and 97% reported a high increase in their knowledge level on C.V.D. Sixty seven (67) women attended (1/3 were medical professionals). Contact certificates were given to 13 medical professionals. The program was presented in a joint effort by Cooperative Extension, American Heart Association (Northeast Colorado) and North Colorado Medical Center. Donna Liess and Monica Kahn(Northeast Colorado Field Representative for American Heart Association) were co-chairpersons and started the planning process. We had 10 women on our planning committee representing education, medical professional, senior services and community leaders. Bev Reid (Human Resources Department) and Marian Ruge (Health Department) served on the committee. Eleven sponsors were recruited to keep the cost reasonable, to offer door prizes and to establish a base for future Her Healthy Heart workshops. - Donna Liess October 14, 1992 DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING SERVICES SUMMARY OF ACTIVITIES FOR PERIOD ENDING September 30, 1992 CURRENT PLANNING The department received and processed a total number of 195 land-use cases that required public hearings.
