What factors influence the risk of Cardiovascular Disease?

Cardiovascular disease risk is influenced by a complex interplay of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. Shift work, older age, male gender, and genetic predispositions, such as specific gene expressions related to low-density lipoprotein oxidation and inflammatory markers, are significant contributors.

What factors influence the risk of Cardiovascular Disease?

older age and male gender

natural selection

phenotypes with high plasma cholesterol concentration and high blood pressure
higher risk of Cardiovascular Disease
proportion of pro-inflammatory macrophages in adipose tissue to non-HDL cholesterol blood concentration
increase in fighting off infections

pre-existing conditions

hypercholesterolemia
hypertension
Black people

angiotensinogen, G-protein B3 subunit, and epithelial Na+ channel subunit gene

hot climates and poor living conditions during the slave trade

genetic predisposition

fewer inflammatory markers
fewer monocytes
risk of cardiovascular disease
expression of gene involved in low-density lipoprotein oxidation

extreme variations in temperature
