Arteriosclerosis has a genetic predisposition, which may be closely related to physical constitution and certain diseases. In families with members suffering from obesity, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and hypertension, the incidence of arteriosclerosis in their children tends to be higher than in average families. Therefore, individuals in these families should be mindful of losing weight, adjusting their dietary structure, and eating less food high in cholesterol. Additionally, treating primary diseases, reducing blood sugar, and controlling blood pressure are essential steps to prevent the early onset of arteriosclerosis.
