To prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, patients must first control modifiable risk factors. Those with a family history of such conditions should undergo timely screening and early intervention—for example, for diabetes, hyperlipidemia, or hypertension. Additionally, patients should correct unhealthy lifestyle habits: adopt a low-salt, low-fat diet; abstain from smoking and alcohol consumption; engage in regular physical exercise; strictly maintain a healthy body weight; and practice stress management to avoid excessive mental tension and anxiety.
