Modifiable Risk Factors of Lifestyle Diseases

- The top 5 causes of death worldwide include cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, cancer, diabetes, and stroke. (2012 data)
Fatal Four
- Cardiovascular diseases are disorders of the heart and blood vessels leading to death in the Philippines.
- Arteriosclerosis: Hardening and thickening of arteries (often natural with aging).
- Coronary Heart Disease: Narrowing or blockage of blood pathways to the heart.
- Heart Attack: Cardiac muscle failure due to lack of blood flow.
- Heart Rhythm Abnormalities/Arrhythmia: Faulty electrical conduction system in the heart, worsened by factors like stress and caffeine.
- Cancer: Abnormal cell division forming tumors.
- Malignant: Tumor spreads and destroys nearby tissues.
- Benign: Tumor may grow in size.
- Diabetes Mellitus: Condition where the body cannot produce or effectively use insulin.
- Type 1: Body cannot produce insulin (mostly hereditary).
- Type 2: Body has a high glucose level due to a high-sugar lifestyle.
- Gestational Diabetes: Diabetes during pregnancy.
- Chronic Respiratory Disease: Lung disease affecting air paths.
- Chronic: Long-lasting nature.
- Can be life-threatening if not detected and treated early.
