RISK FACTORS ARE IMPORTANT FOR WHAT THEY CAN CHANGE.
YOU CANNOT CHANGE YOUR AGE, GENDER AND GENETIC STRUCTURE.
BUT OTHERS YOU CAN CHANGE.
Let's see the first step in risk for Cardiovascular Diseases.
Metabolic Syndrome
If we say sedentary, overweight, belly people, we summarize.
1.Increased waist circumference: 102 cm in men, over 88 cm in women
2. High triglyceride level: > 150 mg/dl (or medication)
strong>3.Low HDL level: 50 mg/dl in women, 40 mg/dl in men
4.High blood pressure: Higher than 135 / 90 mmHg (or medication)
5. Impaired fasting blood sugar: Fasting blood sugar between 100-125 mg/dl
-
A combination of at least 3 of the 5 conditions is called metabolic syndrome.
-
Metabolic syndrome increases the risk of heart disease by 2 times and the risk of developing diabetes 5 times compared to those without it.
-
It is seen in the society at a rate of 10-20%.
Cardiovascular Diseases What are the risk factors?
1.FAMILY STORY: By the way, family is first degree relatives. Mother, father and siblings..
2nd DIABETES: It is the most important. If the patient is using insulin, there is a possibility that other organs will be affected. This is what makes things worse.
68% of people aged 65 and over with diabetes die from heart disease, 18% from stroke.
3. SMOKING: It is life threatening and affects life expectancy twice. Rates drop immediately in those who quit smoking. The risk continues in passive smokers.
4.HIGH BLOODTENSION
When the blood pressure rises by 2 points and the diastolic blood pressure by 1 point, the heart crisis and stroke Ski doubles.
5.HIGH CHOLESTEROL:
For high cholesterol the limits used go from 200 for Total Cholesterol and from 120 to 100 for LDL bad cholesterol. HDL must be at least over 40.
6. OBESITY /OBESITY: It is one of the main factors in this regard. It is very important for protection. If you add sleep apnea to this, things get even more complicated. I always ask my patients "Sleep Apnea: Snoring".
Liver lubrication is also an issue that should be considered as the first stage for arteriosclerosis.
WHY IS FAT LIVER IMPORTANT?
7th GENDER:
The risk factor for strong> is being MALE . Nowadays, women have started to train women to men, especially with smoking, obesity and sugar. In fact, Red Heart days are held in America. To draw attention to Heart Disease in Women.
8.AGE: The limit, which used to be 45, is now down to 40.
9. INACTIVITY: Inactivity is important for both cardiac performance and metabolic properties, fat (cholesterol) metabolism. In this respect, walking is the simplest exercise for you.
THE MAIN ISSUE IS TO DO IT REGULARLY AND WITH RESTING OVER YOUR HEART RATE.
