Our programs Medical research and healthcare

Cardiovascular diseasesa major public health challenge

Every four minutes someone in France is a victim of a cardiovascular event. Affecting increasingly younger sectors of the population, these diseases are currently the second leading cause of death in France.* For over 20 years, Fondation de France has supported research that helps us better understand, predict and cure cardiovascular diseases.

Obesity and cardiovascular diseases

Thanks to improved prevention measures, the consequences of cardiovascular events have diminished over the past 30 years. This progress was made possible by new surgical techniques and most of all, advances in research. However, over the same period obesity has increased. Today 17% of the French population is obese, and nearly 15%* of French children are overweight.

These figures suggest that cardiovascular diseases will increase among young people. This is why Fondation de France is focusing its support on research, and in particular, the cardiovascular consequences of obesity.

We encourage research on cardiovascular diseases, as well as their progression and possible treatments, based on three approaches:

  • increasing knowledge of cardiovascular diseases;
  • measuring and predicting the impact of metabolic disorders (such as diabetes or high blood pressure) on these diseases;
  • finding innovative therapeutic solutions to reduce the effects of cardiovascular diseases.
