Key result
Lifestyle modifications reduce CVD incidence and severity.
Why the study?
The global frequency of cardiovascular diseases creates an urgent need for thorough studies on their modifiable risk factors.
Do lifestyle factors such as diet, physical activity, smoking, and alcohol intake affect cardiovascular disease incidence and outcomes?
Do lifestyle factors such as diet, physical activity, smoking, and alcohol intake affect cardiovascular disease incidence and outcomes?
This review reinforces that healthy lifestyle choices, including a balanced diet and physical activity, are crucial for lowering cardiovascular disease risk, while smoking and excessive alcohol increase risk.
May support lifestyle counseling in CVD care; leaves open the need for prospective trials.
The worldwide frequency of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) emphasizes how urgently thorough studies on their modifiable risk factors are needed. This work methodically summarizes epidemiological studies to clarify the link between lifestyle choices and cardiovascular disease. We investigate the effects of food, physical activity, smoking, and alcohol intake on CVD incidence and outcomes by use of data from many longitudinal and cross-sectional studies. While smoking and too much alcohol intake are verified as main risk enhancers, the results emphasize the important part of a balanced diet and consistent physical exercise in lowering CVD risk. Emphasizing a multifarious approach to cardiovascular health promotion, the research also addresses the interaction of these elements with genetic predispositions and socioeconomic level. This synthesis of epidemiological data seeks to guide public health policy and personal behavior, therefore supporting the larger endeavor to lower the load of cardiovascular illnesses.

Sharma et al. (2024) conducted a review in Cardiovascular diseases. Lifestyle modifications (diet, physical activity, smoking cessation, alcohol moderation) was evaluated. Lifestyle modifications, including adherence to healthy diets, regular physical activity, and smoking cessation, play a critical role in reducing the incidence and severity of cardiovascular diseases.
