Approximately 9 in 10 adults are at risk for cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome, a condition that most have never heard of, according to a survey released in October by the American Heart Association.
The American Heart Association (AHA) survey, which was published on Oct. 20, said that while nearly 90 percent of American adults have at least one risk factor for the syndrome, only 12 percent of people who were surveyed had heard about CKM syndrome, 72 percent said they are interested in learning more about the condition, and 79 percent concurred it is important to understand more about CKM health.
