Question

Heart disease is one of the most common causes of death in the United States, especially for people 65 and over; even people who survive heart disease might have to limit certain kinds of activities (exercising too much, drinking alcohol, and so on). Blood vessels also lose elasticity as we age. Why would you guess that older people are more susceptible to heart diseases, compared to younger people?
