6 risks factors of heart disease??????????? |
6 risks factors of heart disease??????????? There are 2 types of risk factors for coronary heart disease. The first type is the non-modifiable (ie what you are stuck with!!) which includes: Family History (if first line relatives, parents or siblings, has cardiovascular disease eg stroke, heart disease, under the age of 60) Diabetes (diet/tablet controlled diabetics are 4 times more likely to get heart disease and insulin controlled are up to 9 times more likely) Age (obviously as age increases risk increases) Male/Female (men are more likely to develop cardiovascular disease under 60 compared to women. But post menopause women's risk increases dramatically and by the age of 70 the risk is about equal between men and women. But remember heart disease is still the biggest killer in women!!) The other type of risk factor is the modifiable (ie something you can change). These risk factors include: Smoking (Estimated around 20% cardiac deaths due to smoking, even regular passive smoking can increase risk by 25%) Diet (Average UK diet is poor, high salt intake, high saturated fat intake. Just 13% of the UK population eat the recommended 5 portions fruit and veg a day!!) Lack of Exercise (Even moderate exercise can reduce risks by up to 50%) Alcohol (Moderate amount 2 - 3 units a day lowers risk. But binge drinking increases it) Obesity (UK has the fastest rate of obesity in the developed world!!) High Blood Pressure (About 40% men and women in the UK have or are being treated for high BP >140/90mmHg) Stress High Cholesterol Source(s): My head i dont know...ur avatar makes me laugh Stress Oily and fried foods Lack of exercise. Smoking Alcohol Negative thoughts 1- being overweight 2- too much sodium in your diet 3- poor or no exercise routines 4- heredity 5- infections 6-cholesterol overweight high cholesterol high blood pressure smoking drinking old age cholesterol, High blood pressure Diabetes Smoking and drinking and not exercising. Family History Your age - the older you get, the higher the risk. |
