  With the number of women aware that heart disease is the leading cause of death nearly doubling in the last 15 years, but that this knowledge still lags in minorities and younger women, according to the American Heart Association (AHA).

Here are some of study’s major findings, researchers comparing women’s views about heart disease in 1997 and today found:

  • In 2012, 56 percent of women identified heart disease as the leading cause of death compared with 30 percent in 1997.

  • In 1997, women were more likely to cite cancer than heart disease as the leading killer (35 percent versus 30 percent); but in 2012, only 24 percent cited cancer.

  • In 2012, 36 percent of black women and 34 percent of Hispanic women identified heart disease as the top killer — awareness levels that white women had in 1997 (33 percent).

  • Women 25-34 years old had the lowest awareness rate of any age group at 44 percent.
