Primordial prevention is community level intervention to reduce risk factors and mostly not under the purview of the individual physician. Primary prevention is by controlling the risk factors.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Non modifiable risk factors for CAD<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Age, gender, race\/ethnicity and genetic predisposition or family history are considered the non modifiable risk factors for CAD. Prevalence of CAD increases as age advances and it is definitely more common in males. A strongly positive family history of premature coronary artery disease increases the risk of CAD.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Important modifiable risk factors for CAD<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, cigarette smoking, obesity and chronic kidney disease are important modifiable risk factors for CAD. Diabetes mellitus is such a strong risk factor that it is even considered as a CAD equivalent by some. In this era of regular dialysis programs, chronic kidney disease seldom die of progressive renal failure, but of CAD.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Smoking and CAD<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Smoking increases the risk of CAD and reduces the life expectancy by 13.2 years in males and 14.5 years in females [1]. Even second hand smoke as received by spouse and children, increases the risk of CAD by 25-30% [2]. Smoking cessation achieves 15% reduction in mortality over 14 years.<\/p>\n<p>Suggested additional reading: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK53012\/\">How Tobacco Smoke Causes Disease: The Biology and Behavioral Basis for Smoking-Attributable Disease: A Report of the Surgeon General<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Heart healthy diet<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A diet based on vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low fat dairy products, poultry, fish, legumes and nuts is recommended. Sodium intake should be restricted to less than 2400 mg in hypertensive individuals. One needs to limit the intake of sweets, sugar sweetened beverages, red meats, saturated fat and&nbsp;<em>trans&nbsp;<\/em>fat. It may be noted that liquid calories do not improve satiety, but at the same time contributes well to the total calorie load.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Physical activity<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Aerobic physical activity of moderate &#8211; vigorous intensity, lasting average 40 minutes per session, with 3-4 sessions a week is recommended.
