Most of the deaths reported in the last six months have seen two common trends - heart attacks and people in their 30s and 40s losing their lives. Doctors and social workers, who help to repatriate dead bodies, note this as a disturbing and frightening trend.
According to statistics by Health Authority Abu Dhabi, cardiovascular diseases accounted for 34.9 per cent of all death cases in 2015. Dr Walid Shaker, consultant - cardiac surgeon, Burjeel Hospital, said stressful lifestyle and imbalanced diet led to cardiovascular diseases. Diabetes, obesity, hypertension, smoking, lack of exercise and obesity are the leading contributors.
"Globally, cardiovascular diseases are major cause of deaths. In the UAE, we found an even higher rate. In the UAE, we have high incidents of obesity, diabetes and hypertension and it reflects on the heart," Shaker noted.
Figures from the International Diabetes Federation showed that in 2015, 19.3 per cent, almost one in five people of the UAE population between the ages of 20 and 79 had Type-II diabetes.
He said unhealthy diet is a serious cause of heart-related diseases. "Food processing, industralisation and commercialisation of food are the main causes of all problems. The age of patients start by end of 30s, let's say mid-35."
