Even men who take medication for high blood pressure or cholesterol can dramatically cut their risk of heart disease by adopting a healthy lifestyle, U.S. researchers reported on Monday

Middle-aged men on these medications can reduce their chances of heart problems by 57 percent by eating right, not smoking, drinking in moderation and maintaining a healthy weight while exercising regularly, the researchers said.

Those who do not take the drugs can cut their risk of heart ailments by 87 percent if they adopt these lifestyle choices.

"This shows there's no substitute for a healthy lifestyle," said Stephanie Chiuve, lead author of the study to be published in Circulation: Journal of The American Heart Association.

The study tracked 43,000 men between 40 and 75 who were free of diabetes, heart disease and other chronic conditions when the study began in 1986. They completed biannual questionnaires and researchers used the data to tease out correlations between heart disease and lifestyle habits.

The benefits of the healthy habits were apparent even if they were adopted over time.

"In other words, it's never to late to change," said Chiuve. "You can still achieve benefits if you make changes in middle age or later in life."

Men with the lowest risk of heart disease were those who practiced all five healthy habits, but not smoking alone reduced the risk of heart problems by 50 percent, she said.

Healthy gums may cut stroke risk: study

Making regular visits to the dentist not only protects the teeth, it also may protect the carotid arteries - the main blood vessels leading to the brain.

Study findings presented this past weekend in Brisbane, Australia at a gathering of the International Association for Dental Research hint that gum disease may contribute to clogged carotids, leading to an increased risk of stroke.

Chronic inflammation arising from dental disease has been implicated in the development of atherosclerosis or hardening of the arteries - a key risk factor for stroke.

Advanced carotid artery blockages contain calcium, and can be imaged when a dentist takes a panoramic x-ray of the teeth.

Researchers from the University of California, Los Angeles used panoramic x-rays to quantify the degree of dental disease seen in 18 individuals with carotid artery clogs and 18 without these blockages who were matched for age, sex, and stroke risk factors such as body weight, smoking history, blood pressure, cholesterol and diabetes.

They found that dental disease, as determined by the number of teeth with decay, missing teeth, and the amount of bone loss around the teeth, was much more prevalent in people with carotid atheromas, as the clogs are called, than in those without.

"The main finding is that patients with atheromas have greater amounts of active dental disease than age-matched controls with similar atherosclerotic risk factors," Dr Evelyn Chung from the UCLA School of Dentistry in Los Angeles told Reuters Health.

"Untreated dental disease may in some way accelerate the atherosclerotic process," Chung noted.

"Therefore patients should visit their dentists for continued care to remove infections."
