Cardiovascular Disease by https://padlet.com/jwelin81/abubd3yjctvz en-us 2018-11-01 18:45:14 UTC 2024-11-26 14:49:14 UTC hello@padlet.com Who is at Risk for Cardiovascular Disease? jwelin81 https://padlet.com/jwelin81/abubd3yjctvz/wish/299545232 There are several risk factors for cardiovascular disease that arise due to lifestyle factors. People who are overweight or obese, have an unhealthy diet, are physically inactive, or smoke are at a higher risk for cardiovascular disease. 
Having high blood pressure, high colesterol, or diabetes are conditions that also put people in danger of developing this disease.

Although lifestyle plays a bigger role, race plays a minor role to developing cardiovascular disease. Some researchers suspect African Americans are a a slightly higher risk due to general salt intolerance through ancestors in Africa. Salt intolerance helped people absorb water in the hot, dry climate of Africa, but now it leads to high blood pressure. 

Furthermore, age and gender play a small role. Women over the age of 55 are at a higher risk for heart disease as well. This is because around this time, women go through menopause. The body production of estrogen drops, making cardiovascular disease more liable. Likewise, women who have gone through early menopause are more likely to develop the disease.
