The World Heart Federation lists risk factors such as family history, ethnicity and age, which cannot be changed. Other risk factors that can be treated or changed include tobacco exposure, high blood pressure (hypertension), high cholesterol, obesity, physical inactivity, diabetes, unhealthy diets, and harmful use of alcohol.
I was happy to search for these factors as my mother recently had a stroke, and I am sure it was from several causes, such as physical inactivity, diabetes, and unhealthy diet.
