MUMBAI: The average age of women suffering from lifestyle diseases is fast declining. While problems like heart attacks, diabetes, hypertension, obesity and thyroid earlier seemed to set after 40 years in women, the average age can be pegged to 30 years and above these days.

A fast-paced life, junk food consumption, lack of exercise and stress is laying the city women low. While hypertension and heart attacks are known evils, thyroid-related problems and obesity are fast emerging as widespread epidemics, say doctors.
