Physical activity is NOT a lifestyle risk factor for cardiovascular disease.    

Doing regular physical activities can decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease. Physical activities such as running, hill walking, lap swimming, and martial art are classified as vigorous-intensity activities. It is also known as a hard exercise that produces a higher heart rate and rapid breathing. Vigorous exercise offers greater cardiovascular benefits than moderate-intensity workouts.

Obesity, diabetes, and tobacco are a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, as they are at higher risk for heart disease and stroke.

Diabetes

Diabetes increases your risk of developing high blood pressure. People with diabetes have high blood glucose which can damage your blood vessels and the nerves that control your heart and blood vessel.  

Tobacco

Smokers are at higher risk of coronary heart disease and stroke. The carbon monoxide in tobacco smoke reduces the amount of oxygen in the blood that makes your heart has to pump harder to supply oxygen.  

Obesity

The definition of obesity is excess fat that accumulate and presents a risk to health. Obesity is a major cause of cardiovascular disease as it is associated with high blood pressure, blood lipids, and blood glucose.
