Choose a subject and identify modifiable and no modifiable risk factors. Identify methods to prevent Coronary artery disease (CAD) in the subject. What can you recommend to your classmate's subjects?

  1.          Atherosclerosis is the leading cause of cardiovascular disease (CAD). My cousin is the only person I would trust with these risks. Various preventative actions can and cannot be regulated in light of the risk for coronary artery disease (CAD), even though he has not yet shown any evidence of atherosclerosis or CAD. Unavoidable dangers arise from predicaments beyond one's control. This includes the patient's age, ethnicity, gender, and family history of cardiovascular disease (Song et al., 2019). To have inherited a familial susceptibility to develop coronary artery disease (CAD) from one's mother, father, or other close blood relatives. My relative is 49 years old and comes from a family free of cardiovascular disease (CAD). A person's gender is another trait that cannot be changed. Although the prevalence of coronary artery disease is similar between the sexes, men are more likely to be affected by it. On the other hand, your risk of CAD increases as you age.

            Notably, there are a lot of dangers faced within our sphere of influence; therefore, we can deal with them. Negative mental and behavioral outcomes, such as smoking, inactivity, and obesity, can have detrimental health effects, as stated by Song et al. (2019). My cousin has been a smoker for nearly ten years. People who use tobacco products show an increased risk of coronary artery disease. One's chances of having coronary artery disease are reduced once one stops smoking (CAD). A person's risk of coronary artery disease is equivalent to that of a nonsmoker after three to four years of abstaining from smoking. The good news is that my cousin hasn't had a cigarette in around three years. Physical inactivity is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease. My relative has become a complete slug since he retired. Regular exercise reduces blood pressure, cholesterol, and clotting factors and is an effective preventative against coronary artery disease.

2. 

Subject is an African American female, age 64 from clinical.

Modifiable risk factors for CAD are:

Obesity (more than 30 pounds overweight)

Physical inactivity 

Smoking

High blood cholesterol 

Improper/unhealthy diet

High sugar/fructose intake

High blood pressure 

Hugh consumption of sweetened beverages 

Non modifiable risks factors for CAD are:

Family history 

Genetics 

Ethnicity

Age

Gender

Methods to prevent Coronary Artery Disease (CAD):

Reduce consumption of salt and sodium in your diet.

Adopt a healthy eating lifestyle.

Exercise daily.

Stop smoking.

Reduce alcohol consumption.

Recommendations to your classmates/subjects:

Heart disease is the #1 killer of African American women, killing around 50,000 women yearly. 4 out of every 5 African American are either overweight or obese. A way to combat heart disease is to make physical activity/exercising a priority, change to healthier eating habits, abstain from smoking, and cut down on alcohol consumption.
