Aims: The aim of this study is to evaluate the association between cardiovascular health indicators and common non-communicable diseases. Deeply explore the mutual influence and correlation between cardiovascular health, genetic environmental factors, and common non-communicable diseases, and analyze the potential regulatory role of cardiovascular health in the relationship between environmental pollution exposure/genetic risk and common non-communicable diseases.
Scientific Rationale:
Many diseases stem from the mutual influence of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle risk factors. According to data from the World Health Organization, the impact of lifestyle on health and lifespan accounts for 60%, genetic factors account for 15%, environmental and social factors account for 17%, and medical conditions account for 8%. Nowadays, more and more people suffer from a variety of non communicable diseases, such as diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. However, the potential interaction between cardiovascular health indicators, genetic factors, and environmental factors on chronic diseases has not been fully studied. Further research is needed to determine whether (and to what extent) cardiovascular health can offset the risk of chronic diseases caused by genetic susceptibility or environmental exposure.
Project duration: This project is expected to be completed in 36 months.
Public Health Impact: The primary goal is to validate the effectiveness of cardiovascular health indicators in predicting and reducing the incidence of chronic non-communicable diseases. Additionally, the project aims to uncover the complex interactions between cardiovascular health, genetic risks, and environmental factors, enhancing public awareness and adherence to these health indicators to mitigate chronic disease burdens.
