Cardiovascular Health Risks

Meaning

Cardiovascular Health Risks refer to the identifiable physiological, behavioral, and genetic factors that increase an individual’s probability of developing heart and blood vessel diseases. These risks encompass a spectrum of clinical markers, including dyslipidemia, hypertension, chronic inflammation, and insulin resistance. Recognizing and mitigating these factors is central to preventive medicine and improving long-term longevity. Hormonal imbalances, particularly those involving sex steroids and thyroid hormones, are increasingly recognized as modifiable contributors to these risks.
