B Correct answer
Explanation

This statement is false. Young women typically have lower risk of heart disease than young men of the same age, primarily due to estrogen's protective effects on blood vessels and cholesterol levels. Risk increases significantly after menopause when estrogen declines, eventually equalizing with men's risk in older age.
