Men are at a higher risk of developing bladder cancer than women.
Chronic Bladder Infections or Inflammation
Conditions such as bladder infections and long-term bladder inflammation can increase the risk.
Exposure to Chemicals
Prolonged exposure to certain chemicals, especially those used in the dye industry, rubber production, and chemical manufacturing, increases the risk.
Unhealthy Diet
High intake of salt, sugar, and trans fats increases cholesterol and blood pressure.

Lack of Physical Activity
Sedentary lifestyles weaken cardiovascular endurance and lead to obesity.

Smoking
Damages blood vessels and significantly raises the risk of coronary artery disease.

Excessive Alcohol Consumption
Can elevate blood pressure and contribute to arrhythmias.

High Blood Pressure
Puts constant stress on heart muscles and arteries.

Diabetes
Leads to damage of blood vessels and doubles the risk of heart attacks.

High Cholesterol
Causes plaque buildup in arteries, leading to atherosclerosis.

Obesity
Strains the heart, raising the likelihood of heart failure and hypertension.

Stress and Anxiety
Trigger hormonal changes that negatively affect heart rhythm and pressure.

Family History
Genetic predisposition to heart disease increases lifetime risk.

Age and Gender
Men are more prone to early cardiac issues, while risk rises in women post-menopause.
