There are five important heart disease risk factors that you can control. A poor diet, high blood pressure and cholesterol, stress, smoking and obesity are factors shaped by your lifestyle and can be improved through behavior modifications. Risk factors that cannot be controlled include family history, age and gender.

The increased risk of CVD from established modifiable risk factors—tobacco use, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and hypercholesterolemia—is well documented. More recently, nonestablished behavioral and lifestyle risk factors—like obesity, physical inactivity, and sedentary behavior—have been studied.

- Diet: saturated fat, cholesterol and lipoprotein levels. - High blood pressure: Should be sustained or will cause damage to artery walls. - Smoking: correlation and causation shown because chemicals in smoke physically damage artery linings. - Obesity - Increases risk of CVD + type II diabetes.
