Thankfully, I do not have high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, am not smoking, or have a family history of coronary heart disease, but I am still at risk because I am obese, hardly exercise, and am sometimes stressed. Additionally, I am 46 years old, which puts me close to the “above 50 age group” risk. I could reduce my risk factors by losing weight and becoming more active on a regular basis. Genetic risks factors can be high cholesterol and high blood pressure, but they can be environmental as well, per example having high cholesterol due to a poor diet. Type 2 Diabetes seems to be environmental as well, even though family history could influence the risk as well. Smoking, obesity, lack of exercise, and stress are environmental risk factors because we are the cause for it. But the more I read about the risk factors it seems like they each have a little bit of both, genetic and environmental causes.
