NURS FPX 6011 Assessment 2 Evidence-Based Population Health Improvement Plan

rs have a major impact on the prevalence of cardiovascular disease in the United States. Factors including pollution, urbanization, and the quality of the air and water are important in determining the risk and prevalence of disease. For example, there is evidence connecting air pollution and secondhand smoking exposure to a higher risk of cardiovascular disease. Likewise, age, gender, and socioeconomic position are examples of demographic variables that influence the increasing heart disease prevalence (Díez-Villanueva et al., 2022).
