Subtitle: Risk Factors for Atherosclerosis

Atherosclerosis is caused by a combination of factors, including diet, smoking, lack of physical activity, and certain health conditions. Some of the risk factors associated with atherosclerosis are:

• High cholesterol and triglyceride levels

• High blood pressure

• Diabetes

• Obesity

• Sedentary lifestyle

• Family history of atherosclerosis

It is important to note that having one or more of these risk factors does not mean that you will get atherosclerosis. However, it is important to understand your risk factors and make lifestyle changes to reduce your risk.
