• High cholesterol and triglyceride levels

• High blood pressure

• Diabetes

Atherosclerosis is a condition that affects the arteries, where fatty deposits build up and cause the arteries to become narrowed and hardened. It is most commonly found in the arteries throughout the body, but is most likely to occur in the arteries around the heart, brain, arms, and legs. It can lead to serious health problems such as heart attack and stroke. It is important to take steps to reduce the risk of developing atherosclerosis, such as eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and avoiding smoking.
