Type 2 Diabetes & Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors

There are many risk factors associated with Type 2 Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease.

While some risk factors, like family history, age and gender cannot be modified, most other risk factors such as sedentary lifestyle, high blood pressure, diet and weight can be modified through taking preventative measures.

While you wont necessarily develop Type 2 Diabetes or Cardiovascular disease if you have a risk factor, the more risk factors you have will increase your chances of developing them.

The Holland Clinic works with patients to reduce risk factors through taking a preventative approach to health. Through our tailored programs we can support patients with weight loss, improving overall health and reducing modifiable risk factors, decreasing the chances of developing a chronic disease.
