  H.R. No. 211
 
 
 
R E S O L U T I O N
 
         WHEREAS, Heart disease ranks as the number one killer of
  women, but 80 percent of cardiac events can be prevented; and
         WHEREAS, An estimated 44 million women in the United States
  are affected by cardiovascular diseases, which, together with
  stroke, kill one woman on average every 80 seconds and account for a
  third of female deaths each year; and
         WHEREAS, Although 90 percent of women have one or more risk
  factors for developing heart disease, few realize that heart
  disease is their greatest health threat; women are less likely to
  call 911 for themselves when experiencing symptoms of a heart
  attack than they are to seek assistance for someone else in the same
  situation; and
         WHEREAS, Since 1984, more women than men have died each year
  from heart disease; nevertheless, women are underrepresented in
  scientific research, comprising just 24 percent of participants in
  all heart-related studies; and
         WHEREAS, The American Heart Association established the Go
  Red For Women campaign and National Wear Red Day to promote measures
  that can reduce heart disease; the organization urges women to
  exercise, stop smoking, maintain a healthy diet, and get their
  blood pressure and cholesterol checked regularly; in addition, it
  reminds them to teach their children the importance of staying
  active and eating sensibly; and
         WHEREAS, By dressing in red on National Wear Red Day,
  citizens can raise awareness of heart disease, help others learn to
  reduce their risk, and demonstrate support for more research and
  education on heart disease in women; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
  Legislature hereby recognize February 3, 2017, as National Wear Red
  Day and encourage all Texans to participate in this important
  observance.
