Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a group of diseases that include cardiac and blood vessels. Lifestyle factors for cardiovascular diseases refer to the behaviors and habits that can enhance or reduce the risk of developing heart disease. In this review study, we did a comprehensive search in the online database, including PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and motor search engines such as Google Scholar. We investigated the studies that assessed lifestyle factors for CVD incidence. Results showed that physical inactivity, unhealthy diet, alcohol consumption, smoking, obesity, and stress are the most common lifestyle factors related to the incidence of CVDs.
