Abstract		Detailed information is available on the development of atherosclerosis and the factors influencing its occurrence. The paper deals with the crucial and most frequent risk factors as well as possibilities of changing the related behavioural pattern into a healthy life style. Promotion of health and prevention of chronic diseases do not fall merely within the realm of family doctors' tasks but also of all medical professionals active in primary and secondary preventive medicine. Physiotherapists play a very special role in encouraging and organizing physical exercise. In PAOD patients the interval muscle training continues to be used as a selection method in stage 2 according to Fontain. More campaigns should be launched against smoking and alcohol while encouraging healthy food habits. Medicamentous treatment of risk factors should be directed at optimal values of blood pressure, sugar and fats in the blood, thereby preventing additional complications related to the heart and vascular diseases.
Summary		Poznamo veliko podrobnosti o nastanku ateroskleroze in dejavnikih, ki vplivajo na njen nastanek. V svojem prispevku prikazujem najpomembnejše in najpogostejše dejavnike tveganja in možnost spreminjanja vedenjskega vzorca v zdrav način življenja. Promocija zdravja in preprečevanje kroničnih bolezni nista naloga le družinskih zdravnikov, temveč vseh zdravstvenih delavcev tudi v sklopu primarne ali sekundarne preventive. Fizioterapevti imajo še posebno vlogo pri vzpodbujanju in organiziranju telesne vadbe. Pri bolnikih s PAOB je intervalni mišični trening še vedno metoda izbora v stadiju 2 po Fontainu. Veliko več bi morali narediti za opuščanje kajenja, zdravo prehrano in proti prekomernemi uživaju alkohola. Zdravljenje dejavnikov tveganja z zdravili mora zagotavljati optimalne vrednosti krvnega tlaka, sladkorja in maščob v krvi, saj tako preprečujemo dodatne zaplete v boleznih srca in ožilja.
