Worldwide Exposures to Cardiovascular Risk Factors and Associated Health Effects

Abstract: Information on exposure to, and health effects of, cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors is needed to develop effective strategies to prevent CVD events and deaths. Here, we provide an overview of the data and evidence on worldwide exposures to CVD risk factors and the associated health effects. Global comparative risk assessment (CRA) studies have estimated that hundreds of thousands or millions of CVD deaths are attributable to established CVD risk factors (high blood pressure and serum cholesterol, smok… Show more

“…We identified several BP-associated loci that are also associated with lifestyle traits, suggesting shared genetic architecture between BP and lifestyle exposures 53. We adjusted our BP GWAS analyses for BMI to control for possible confounding effects, though we acknowledge the potential for collider bias54.…”

“…Unfavorable behavioral factors during the life as tobacco use, physical inactivity, unhealthy diet, and harmful use of alcohol are fundamental for CVD risk [2]. Deleterious lifestyle patterns translate to the occurrence of intermediate risk factors as raised blood glucose and lipid levels, increased blood pressure, and overweight/obesity [3].…”

“…It is widely known that the incidence of CVD is increasing, a trend expected to continue in the foreseeable future [1, 2]. This coincides with an increase in the number of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients requiring a vascular access (VA) site [3].…”
