Adherence to modifiable risk factors

 

Adherence to Modifiable Risk Factors

Your lifestyle—how you live, eat, emote, and think—determines your health. To prevent disease, you may have to change how you live.
—Brian Carter

Many people are aware of the health risks posed by the behaviors and habits of their daily lives, but continue to engage in those behaviors and habits, regardless of the risks. Most of us understand the importance of maintaining a balanced diet and exercising regularly, and yet unhealthy foods and fast food restaurants are still in high demand. Avoiding and changing modifiable risk factors of disease involves more than just awareness to potential health problems, it requires motivation and action.

In this Discussion, you consider the psychosocial, behavioral, and cultural elements that promote adherence to modifiable risk factors. You recommend strategies and measures for individuals who want to avoid or change behaviors that put them at increased risk for disease.
