01 Nov 2022 --- A new study has revealed that people living in “food deserts” – areas and communities that have minimal to no access to nutritious foods – may have an increased risk of stroke, heart attack and premature death if they suffer from a narrowing of arteries that carry blood away from the heart known as peripheral artery disease (PAD). The findings will be presented at the American Heart Association’s (AHA) Scientific Session 2022 in Chicago, Illinois, US (Nov 5-7).
