  • Poor dietary habits: Unhealthy eating patterns, including a diet high in saturated fats, processed foods, and low in fruits and vegetables, can contribute to the development of cardiovascular diseases.
  • Lack of awareness and preventive measures: Lack of knowledge about cardiovascular health, including symptoms, risk factors, and preventive measures, may contribute to the vulnerability of BMTC employees to such diseases.

  • Genetic predisposition: Certain individuals may have a genetic predisposition to cardiovascular diseases, which can further increase their vulnerability.
It is important for BMTC and the employees to prioritize cardiovascular health by promoting healthy lifestyle habits, providing resources for stress management, offering nutritious meal options, and organizing awareness campaigns and regular health check-ups to address these factors and reduce the vulnerability of employees to cardiovascular diseases.
