Lifestyles choices are the biggest risk factors associated with the risk of developing CVD and for CVD mortality
Lifestyle choices such as poor dietary habits, smoking, low physical activity, and a high dietary inflammatory index, and a combination of these, have significant impact on all-cause mortality12. Such lifestyle choices are associated with long-term adverse conditions such as diabetes, hyperlipidaemia, and hypertension, which in turn can increase the risk of CVD13.
Data published in 2016 in the European Heart Journal shows that cardiovascular diseases, principally coronary heart disease and stroke, remain the primary cause of death across Europe, responsible for 49% of all deaths in women and 40% of all deaths in men.
