Warning: strtotime() [function.strtotime]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected 'America/New_York' for 'EDT/-4.0/DST' instead in /home/question/public_html/scripts.php on line 1574
Q: What is the chance of heart disease?
Submitted By: mister.joshua, 33 days, 4 hours, 56 minutes ago
"Such and such reduces the chance of heart disease by 80%." "This and that increase the chance of heart disease by 25%." We hear these statistics so often they've become meaningless, so I'd like to know...what is the chance of heart disease? One in 10,000? One in three? (One in three Americans die of heart disease, so is that what they're referencing? Is it like charting the chance of death, despite knowing that everyone is going to die?)
