A quick search indicates men actually see an increase after age 45. Some additional stats from the below source:

The average lifetime risk of developing cardiovascular disease was around 52% for men and 39% for women.

Lifetime risk jumped to 69% for men and 50% for women who had two or more cardiovascular risk factors by age 50.

Lifetime risk was just 5% among men and 8% among women who had optimal risk factors for cardiovascular disease at age 50.
