Background: Heart disease (cardiovascular disease: CVD) is considered as the leading cause of worldwide death. These diseases are recognized as group of disorders which are related to heart and blood vessels. Generally, heart diseases are considered life style associated diseases but many other factors are also found associated with cardiovascular diseases. Objective: The aim of this review is to provide the till date information regarding local and circulatory disorders, role of different vitamin and herbs on heart diseases. Methods: This review article contains a detailed survey of literature about cardiovascular diseases which was available in different online databases such as; PubMed, Web of Science, Science Direct, Elsevier, and Google Scholar etc. In this review, authors have focused on description of cardiovascular disorders, their pathophysiological properties and importance of micronutrients, vitamins and herbs in management of cardiovascular diseases. Results: Cardiovascular diseases are considered the responsible approximately for 17.9 million deaths annually at global level. Surprisingly, low- and middle-income countries counts for 75% of CVD deaths. These diseases represents disorders related circulatory systems specially heart and coronary arteries. Many life style associated factors such as; high cholesterol consumption, smoking, alcohol consumption, tobacco use, metabolic disorders, stress, and other factors such as; family history, age, gender and genetic factors etc have been found involved in establishment of CVDs. That’s why management of diet, management of tobacco and alcohol consumption, management of stress, increased physical activities are considered population wide strategies for control cardiovascular diseases. On the basis of pathophysiology, heart diseases are of many types and out of them acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and sudden cardiac death (SCD) are considered serious and catastrophic cardiac disorders. Intake of vitamins, micronutrients, lycopene, omega 3 fatty acid and many herbs like Crataegus oxyacantha (Hawthron), Allium sativum (garlic), Salvia miltiorrhiza (Danshen), Ganoderma lucidum (lingzhi), Ginkgo biloba have been identified good for cardiovascular diseases management and treatment. Conclusion: Cardiovascular dieseases are considered one of the fatal clinical conditions as many of them are asymptomatic. The regulation of diet, increased physical activities, and health life style are recommened to control development of cardiovascular problems. Including this, scintific studies have supported the role of many vitamins, nutrients and herbs as beneficial in cardiovascular diseases but many of them could not demonstrate their role at clinical level but it is suggested that their role as nutriens can not be ignored and their consumption may reduc the cardiovascular risks.

Background: There is need to prioritize the promotion of physical activity and eating habit to promote healthy practices and prevent the occurrence of disease and obesity. Objective: This study aims to examine the association strength between types of food intake and physical activities using General Loglinear Models (GENLOG). Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted from selected secondary schools in the eastern states of Peninsular Malaysia. It involved a sample of 326 students (aged between 13 to 17 years). A questionnaire was administered to the students within the school compound using a face-to-face interview. Ratio Chi-Square statistic was used to determine the association between the types of food intake and physical activities; while, Mantel Haenszel’s test of homogeneity was used to identify the presence of confounding variables. Results: The results showed that the consumption of breakfast, fast food, and snacks was significantly associated with various physical activities with some confounding effects. Conclusion: Comparison of several Loglinear models confirmed the homogenous Loglinear model as most parsimonious in explaining the association between types of food intake and physical activity among adolescents.

Questionnaire Method

Cardiovascular diseases is an important problem of public health not only because of wide spread, sudden death, long-term disability, but also because they can be preventable when preventive means are used properly, even those people who have relatively high risk to catch mentioned illnesses can decrease the risk by changing their life style. Objective of the study is to determine a connection between cardiovascular system of elderly women and physical activity. By using questionnaire method 140 elderly wo-men were questioned, 70 of them were physically active and 70 were physically passive. Average age of women questioned is 57± 6,1 years. During the questioning, the questionnaire of study of Š. Klizas et al. was used, which was prepared according to basic factors of risk of cardiovascular diseases, principles of healthy life style analysed in scientific literature. Reliability of the method was verified by using index of Cronbach alfa coefficient (0,73). Data obtained show that 10,0 percent of physically active women and even 28, 6 percent (χ²=17,64; df =2; p=0,000) of physically passive women have too big amount of cholesterol in blood. Only44,3 percent of active women and only 18,6 percent of passive women (χ²=10,74; df =1; p=0,001) are taking healthy nutrition.Percentage of women with too big concentration of cholesterol in blood is bigger almost threefold between physically passive women. Physically active elderly women take care of their health more often than physically passive women of the same age.
