What age is the most common for heart attacks to occur?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
60s: Peak incidence for men is about 60-65, probably somewhat higher in women, however heart attacks are possible in all adult age groups, in general older means greater risk, risk in men under 35 and pre menopausal women is low unless some other disease or problem which increases risk a lot, like diabtes, or smoking.
