Factors you cannot change

While we are unable to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease arising from this category of factors, it is important for us to be informed about these risk factors and ascertain whether we are at high risk of developing heart disease. If we do belong to this category, we should then take steps to modify the risk factors which we can change.
