Abstract

A class of disorders known as cardiometabolic diseases includes heart attack, stroke, diabetes, insulin resistance, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. These conditions are all common yet frequently preventable. People around the world are becoming more likely to develop one or more of these illnesses at some point in their lives. The four main causes of this increase are acknowledged to be smoking, not exercising enough, consuming large amounts of alcohol, and maintaining an unhealthy diet. Tackling cardiometabolic disorders is crucial for the future health of our entire communities because of the enormous socioeconomic costs associated with these conditions.
