A Global Cardiovascular Risk Consortium study of nearly 2 million people worldwide found that avoiding five modifiable risk factors—hypertension, hyperlipidemia, abnormal weight, diabetes, and smoking—by age 50 added over a decade of life expectancy for both sexes. Midlife control of systolic blood pressure and smoking yielded the greatest global gains.

In this interview, Drs. Roger S. Blumenthal and Christina Magnussen discuss how this landmark study moves beyond a predominantly North American and European focus, translating abstract risk factors into tangible years of healthy life for patients.
