Factors Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the leading causes of death worldwide and is largely preventable. Risk factors for CVD include lifestyle factors, such as smoking, unhealthy diet, sedentary lifestyle, and obesity, as well as biological factors, such as age, family history, and high blood pressure. Having one or more of these risk factors increases the likelihood of developing CVD and can increase the severity of the condition. In addition, certain medical conditions, such as diabetes and chronic kidney disease, can also increase the risk of developing CVD. Early detection and management of CVD risk factors can help to reduce the risk of disease and its associated complications, such as heart attack and stroke. lifestyle change, including increased physical activity and healthy eating, as well as smoking cessation and effective management of medical conditions, can lower the risk of developing CVD.
