Controllable risk factors for cardiovascular disease

  Every year, about 3 million people die of cardiovascular disease in China, accounting for about 45% of the total number of deaths, and the annual cost of cardiovascular medical care is up to 130.117 billion yuan. It is worth noting that China has 160 million hypertensive patients, 160 million dyslipidemia, more than 20 million diabetes, 200 million obese and overweight people, 350 million smokers, 900 million passive smokers, these people are the “reserve army” of cardiovascular disease.  Controllable risk factors for cardiovascular disease: 1. Hypertension: Among these risk factors, hypertension bears the brunt. It is not only an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease, but also a risk factor for stroke, kidney disease, etc.  2, smoking and alcohol consumption: the effects of tobacco use on cardiovascular disease include increased coronary heart disease (angina pectoris, myocardial infarction and sudden death), cerebrovascular disease and peripheral atherosclerosis.  3, hypercholesterolemia: the greater risk to people’s health is atherosclerosis, which is caused by coronary arteriosclerosis angina and myocardial infarction. Hypercholesterolemia is the “hotbed” of atherosclerosis.  4, diabetes: diabetes is a lifelong disease, it is impossible to completely cure, therefore, once the control is not good will bring lesions to various organs of the human body, the complications of large blood vessels manifested as atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, cardiomyopathy, stroke, etc.  5, lack of physical exercise: people who do not have enough exercise, the energy converted from the food eaten can not be consumed, it will become fat stored. Then, the greater the body mass index, the higher the blood pressure, blood sugar, blood lipids are significantly higher.  6, obesity: obesity is the culprit of many diseases. Obesity also increases the chance of diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, ischemic heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, gallstone disease, bone and joint disease, polycystic ovary syndrome and cancer.  7. Irrational dietary structure: increased energy provided by fat and insufficient intake of vegetables and fruits. Irrational dietary structure will not only directly affect cardiovascular health, “avoiding” in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease is also crucial.  8, too much psychological pressure: work and other stress.
