Answer: What are the risk factors for cardiovascular disease?
About half of all Americans (47%) have at least 1 of 3 key risk factors for heart disease: high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and smoking. Some risk factors for heart disease cannot be controlled, such as your age or family history.
Signs and symptoms can include:
Chest pain, chest tightness, chest pressure and chest discomfort (angina)
Shortness of breath.
Pain, numbness, weakness or coldness in your legs or arms if the blood vessels in those parts of your body are narrowed.
Pain in the neck, jaw, throat, upper abdomen or back.
What treatment is used for cardiovascular disease?
Since the 1970s, aspirin has also been used to prevent and manage heart disease and stroke. Beta-blockers are one of the most widely prescribed class of drugs to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). They are a mainstay treatment for congestive heart failure.

3. <em>Negative energy balance</em> occurs when the number of Calories a person burns in a day is greater than the amount he or she consumes.
4. Used to help assess overall health, <em>Body mass index</em> is the ratio of a person's body weight to the square of his or her height.
5. The <em>basal metabolic rate</em> is the amount of energy the body uses in order to perform its basic physiological functions.
6. The <em>thermic effect of food</em> refers to the number of Calories burned in order to digest food and absorb, transport, metabolize, and store the nutrients the body needs
7. A person's <em>lean body mass</em> refers to his or her total body mass minus fat mass.
