Why do Americans die more frequently of heart disease than Europeans?

Question

And don't Europeans smoke and drink more than Americans? Don't Europeans out live Americans?
I don't get it.

Answer 1

It's because of diet, It's a major thing that is different to a European lifestyle. But I think the countries with the most deaths from Heart disease are the Eastern European countries such as Ukraine and Bulgaria. I believe this is mainly due to the amount of heaving smoking that goes on in these countries.

Answer 3

It's our diet...more fatty foods; less vegetables/ fruits. Europeans probably walk more than many Americans, also.

Fattier foods. The smoking and drinking doesn't do as much as eating unhealthily with no exception as americans do.

Answer 5

I feel its because we are always rushing around trying to find shortcuts and what not. In Europe they take dinning very seriously. They take the time to enjoy what thay are eating in turn care about what goes in them. Not to mention they are very active. Eating to them is pleasurable were is in america it just like puttin your shoes on.

Answer 6

because americans eat crap, in europe there is rarely a huge breakfest or meals based around grain and finely processed food. they eat meat, cheese, whole milk and hardy but less processed. they also eat smaller meals in general.

as soon as my parents moved here from europe they both become overweight and unhealthy. its said and they finally realized it.
