To the Editor, We read with great interest the recent article “Epidemiology of Cardiovascular Risk Factors: Behavioural Risk Factors” by Olié et al., which highlights the prevalence and impact of modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular diseases in the French population [1]. The authors acknowledge the narrowing gap between men and women in terms of risk factor prevalence, but we would like to emphasize a crucial point: this convergence is often caused by a worsening of the situation among women rather than an improvement in men's cardiovascular health
