Lecture Notes

There are many different risk factors for cardiovascular disease, and over the final slides we'll talk about both modifiable and non-modifiable major risk factors for cardiovascular disease, and these are risk factors that have strong relationships or associations with the development of cardiovascular disease. At the very end of this lecture we'll also talk about contributing risk factors, and these are factors that play a role in development of cardiovascular disease, but they just don't have quite as strong of a relationship with this disease as the ones that we'll talk about that are listed here on this slide. So we'll start with the modifiable variables and we'll cover those in the next few slides.
