The group needs to address cardiovascular disease, the number-one cause of death in women regardless of racial or ethnic group. Smoking is related to heart disease and cancer, although heart disease and cancer can occur in any woman regardless of her smoking history. Cancer is the second leading cause of death, with women having a one in three lifetime risk of developing cancer. Diabetes is another important health condition that can affect women, but it is not the major health problem that heart disease is.
