If someone develops cardiovascular disease primarily due to an unhealthy diet and lack of exercise, would this be considered a lifestyle disease? Why or why not?

I believe it would be a lifestyle disease (as opposed to a genetic condition) because the individual contracted the disease due to their living conditions.
