Are You At Risk for Heart Disease?

About half of Americans have at least one of three main risk factors for heart disease—high blood pressure, high cholesterol and smoking. Other medical conditions and lifestyle choices can also put people at higher risk for heart disease, including:

  • Diabetes
  • Overweight and obesity
  • Poor diet
  • Physical inactivity
  • Excessive alcohol use
  • Family history of heart disease

Knowing your risk for heart disease can help you decide if you need to modify your lifestyle to control risk factors and help yourself and your loved ones enjoy long, productive and healthy lives. Small changes can make a big difference in your heart health.
