According to the data we share in this article, the heart of the canaries “stops” on average, 4 years before the heart of the rest of the Spaniards (average age of deaths due to heart attacks in Canary Islands = 74 years and in the rest of Spain = 78,4 years).
As we also mentioned a year ago in an article on this subject, regarding heart attacks, after studying the 415.000 patients admitted with acute myocardial infarction over a period of eight years, it was observed that Canarian men entered for this reason an average age of 61,7 years, compared to 65,3 of the Spanish average.
The second region with a lower age for men with heart attack at the time of the study was Navarra, with 64,6, three years older than in Canary Islands. The average age of admission with heart attack for Canary women was 68,4 years, compared to 73,9 of the country's average. The second region in this section is the Balearic Islands, with 72,5 years, four older than in Canary Islands. Definitely, heart attacks arrive much earlier in Canary Islands.
