QUESTIONS
 My choice of topic for my evidence portfolio came from internet research on
contemporary public health issues. The researching is helpful in availing through various
public health issue thus from that I have selected cardiovascular disease which is the
major issue faced by individuals in UK.
 I considered this topic to be worth exploring because the cardiovascular disease is the
main health issue which is occurred among the majority of people in United Kingdom
due to unhealthy diet and lifestyle. Which is to be cured effectively for safeguarding the
people by helping them to follow health diets and lifestyle trends(Vayena and et.al.,
2015).
 When using mind map, I found that Cardiovascular disease is the second main cause of
death in United Kingdom. The two common sub types of these are stroke and CHD. The
mortality rate has been decreased by 70% in England and 69% in Wales and Scotland.
 The open research question I developed was the impact of Cardiovascular disease on the
individual ? Prevention and measures which are given by doctors for curing the disease?
There are many questions which are raised during the research that are needed to be
answered.
 When discussing my questions with others, I received feedback, including that it is
significant health issue by which individuals are going to death due to heart stroke and
CHD. This should be cured by effective preventive measures.
 I searched for evidence by Books and Journals, internet sourcing which is helpful to me
in searching major public health issue that is faced by individuals in the UK. The articles
and new headlines were also helpful in analyzing the different data which showed that it
is the major issue which leads the individual to death directly (O’Mara-Eves and et.al.,
2015).
 The search terms I used were major health issues which are faced by an individual in the
UK. The prevention and measures which are helpful in overcoming the diseases. Main
cause of Cardiovascular disease along with its effects. Mortality rate due to this disease.
 Among the sources I found, two that I particularly learned from are that the healthy diet
and lifestyles must be followed by an individual to safeguard itself from such major

disease. Healthy diet chart must be maintained and daily followed by an individual
glutton free, sugar free and high cholesterol food should be avoided for safeguarding our
self from such serious disease. The one should also exercise, walk and perform yoga
daily for keeping themselves fit so that any disease could not reach to them.
 My new thinking about my topic is that this disease somehow occur due to unhealthy
food practices by individual. One should be aware of following healthy diet chart. Thus,
the government of UK has formed new rules and regulation for the food companies to
develop the glutton free and less sugary drinks so that the individual can eventually move
on to have a healthy diet (Caron, 2016).
