Overview

Cardiovascular disease risk refers to the probability that an individual will develop disease of the heart and blood vessels, estimated from modifiable and non-modifiable factors including hypertension, dyslipidemia, obesity, diabetes, diet, physical inactivity, and demographic characteristics. Risk is commonly quantified using multivariable algorithms such as the Framingham risk score and is targeted through dietary and lifestyle modification of intermediate factors like blood pressure, lipid profiles, and adiposity. In nutritional and preventive medicine, the focus is on how dietary patterns and specific nutrients alter these risk factors and on accurate risk stratification across populations. The peer-reviewed work in this area reflects these concerns, including culturally tailored nutrition and lifestyle interventions that reduce cardio-metabolic risk factors, racial and ethnic differences in Framingham risk score within a national cohort, the relationship between cardiovascular risk factors and outcomes in vulnerable diabetic elderly populations, bioinformatic analysis of coronary-disease-associated genetic variants relevant to atherosclerosis, and the role of antioxidant micronutrients in metabolic syndrome. Studies of omega-3 supplementation, dietary fat, and obesity reversal extend the nutritional dimension. Methods include risk-score modeling, observational cohort analysis, clinical intervention, and molecular and bioinformatic investigation. This body of research treats cardiovascular disease risk as a quantifiable, modifiable construct shaped substantially by diet, metabolism, and lifestyle.
