Notable risk factors include high-fat diets, physical inactivity, tobacco use, and excessive alcohol consumption, all of which promote the development of obesity, diabetes, hyperlipidaemia, and hypertension at younger ages. Additionally, congenital abnormalities and post-infectious complications play roles in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disorders.
