CORONARY HEART DISEASE IN THE UK
Coronary heart disease is the build up of fatty acids in the coronary arteries and is the largest cause of death in the UK, and is responsible for over 73,000 deaths in the UK alone per year. 2.3 million people in the UK suffer from the Coronary Heart Disease, which is nearly the same size as the population of Albania. Many things affect the chances of getting it. The main factors are whether a person smokes or not, blood pressure, cholesterol, physical activity, weight, diabetes and family history.
I think that the diet is the most important factor, because it generally determines your blood pressure, cholesterol and weight. A reason why CHD is so large in the UK is because the British cuisine is generally very high in Carbohydrates and because it is usually fried, it is also high in saturates fats. If the people are not working the fat and carbohydrates off, the fat will go towards clogging the arteries, which most likely will lead to a heart attack
