Abstract
Epidemiological associations have established that certain habitual styles of life, such as smoking, eating a high-fat diet, and physical inactivity, put an individual at increased risk for coronary heart disease (CHD). The application of this information in the prevention of CHD is related to whether or not such habits can be modified and the effect of such modification on the incidence of cardiovascular disease.
