Unhealthy lifestyle raises heart disease risk more than genetics
A new study has found that an unhealthy lifestyle increases a person’s risk of heart disease significantly more than a person’s genetic make-up. The research showed that physical inactivity, smoking, hypertension, diabetes, and high cholesterol all played more of a role in young patients with heart disease than genetics.
The findings, which were presented Monday at a meeting of the European Society of Cardiology in Paris, suggest that adopting healthy lifestyle habits should be a top priority for preventing heart disease, even among individuals with a family history of the condition.
