Overview

Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death among adults. They also cause a high proportion of disability, reduced quality of life, dependence on third parties, loss of productivity, and a significant increase in healthcare costs.

Since the mid-20th century, health institutions such as universities, professional colleges, public health authorities, and non-governmental organizations have undertaken, with great commitment, the path that has led us to the present day, achieving a significant reduction in the prevalence of these diseases.

However, data from recent decades show that this favorable trend is beginning to slow.

Indeed, cardiovascular diseases have determining causes known as cardiovascular risk factors.

These factors include other diseases and behavioral patterns that create favorable conditions for cardiovascular conditions to develop.

Among the most relevant risk factors are diseases such as diabetes, arterial hypertension, and high cholesterol levels, as well as harmful habits such as overweight and obesity, unhealthy eating, physical inactivity, smoking, alcoholism, and altered sleep patterns.

The proportion of people with one or more cardiovascular risk factors has been steadily increasing for several decades. Therefore, the prognosis for the next 25 years is alarming, making this one of the main public health problems worldwide.
