Heart Disease Risk Factors Clinical Wizard

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in men and women in the United States. Research has found that the risk of developing heart disease not only increases with the number of risk factors, but also with the level of severity of each risk factor. One of the ways you can help prevent heart disease is by knowing your risk factors. Learn more by participating in our Heart Disease Risk Factors Multimedia Interactive Program.

Heart Disease and Stroke
You can do a lot to reduce your risk for heart disease and stroke—by adopting a healthy lifestyle. Lifestyle changes can also help you manage heart disease if you already have it.
Prostate Health
The prostate is a gland that wraps around a man's urethra, the tube that carries urine from the bladder. Cancer can form inside this gland and exist for years without causing symptoms.
Conditions of Concern to Men
You can cut your risk for oral and lung cancers by avoiding all tobacco products. Screening at age 50 and beyond can help prevent colorectal cancer.
Obesity
If you need to lose weight—even a substantial amount of weight—losing pounds slowly will be more effective and healthy over the long term.
