Poor diet Sample Clauses

Poor diet. Poor diet and physical inactivity, resulting in increased weight and obesity, are the most common risk factors for heart disease. The role of diet and nutrition is influenced by a range of social, cultural, economic and physiological factors, including the availability and cost of food. Diet is one of the modifiable risk factors that will impact all other CV risk factors [265]. Hypercholesterolemia, a known precursor for CVD, is caused by saturated fatty acid (SFA) and trans fatty acid (TFA) found in animal products and oils that have been hydrogenated to turn them into semi-hard fats. In terms of nutrition, a diet high in SFA and TFA has been associated with CHD incidence [266]. High sodium intake is also a major risk factor for hypertension and subsequent CVD. During the past century, the evidence for the risks to human health by excess salt consumption is undeniable with causal associations between dietary salt intake and blood pressure being established through experimental, epidemiological, migration, and intervention studies [267]. It has been estimated that a reduction in dietary intake of sodium by approximately 1g of sodium a day, about 3g of salt, would lead to a 50% reduction in the number of people needing treatment for hypertension. The same decrease would lead to a 22% drop in the number of deaths resulting from strokes and a 16% fall in the number of deaths from CHD [260].
