The most important ones are age, blood pressure, cholesterol and its subfractions - in particular, LDL cholesterol and non-HDL cholesterol - and diabetes. The ScoreCard of the European Society of Cardiology considers these factors to determine the 10-year cardiovascular risk to have a major cardiovascular event, such as myocardial infarction, stroke and death.

The brain has a high demand for nutrients and nutritional imbalances dampen the structural and functional integrity of the brain critically impacting our cognitive capacities.
