Cardiovascular Disease Continuum- An Update
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
The objective of this study is to determine the various risk factors responsible for causing the cardiovascular disease like diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, hypertension, smoking and visceral adiposity. High cholesterol levels have long been considered an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Diabetes mellitus, especially type 2 accounts for over 97% of the adult diabetic population. Lack of exercise and increased consumption of sweets, soft drinks and decreased consumption of fruits and vegetables has contributed increasingly to overweight and obesity in young persons and adults. Cigarette smoking and hypertension is a well established risk factor for cardiovascular disease continuum. There are hardly any studies assessing about the risk factors responsible for causing cardiovascular disease. Hence, this review will help in determining those factors responsible for cardiovascular disease continuum.
