Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain a global health burden, with lifestyle factors like poor diet and physical inactivity as major contributors. This six-month study evaluated the effectiveness of lifestyle modifications on cardiovascular health in 50 patients with risk factors such as hypertension, elevated LDL cholesterol, or high BMI. Patients were assigned to one of three groups: dietary intervention, physical activity intervention, or combined intervention. Key metrics—blood pressure, lipid profiles, BMI, and cardiovascular symptoms— were assessed at baseline, three months, and six months. The combined intervention group exhibited the most substantial improvements, including a 15 mmHg reduction in systolic blood pressure and a 20% decrease in LDL cholesterol. These results underscore the critical role of lifestyle modifications in CVD prevention and management.
