Australians have multiple risk factors for cardiovascular disease - Report
The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare bulletin provides a summary of the cardiovascular disease risk factor profile of Australian adults e.g smoking, physical activity, fruit and vegetable consumption, alcohol consumption, high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, obesity and diabetes. Some disturbing findings: 9 in 10 Australians have at least one risk factor; poor diet and physical inactivity were the most prevalent risk factors; people with more risk factors were more likely to report having had a heart attack, stroke, atherosclerosis.
