AVENDANO, SANDRA BIBIANA y ALVAREZ, OSCAR MAURICIO. EXERCISE IN PRIMARY PREVENTION OF CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE AND CANCER. Rev. Med [online]. 2018, vol.26, n.2, pp.44-51. Epub 01-Dic-2018. ISSN 0121-5256.
Cardiovascular disease is a disorder that develops progressively throughout life, and when symptoms appear the disease is already deeply established and in some cases already in advanced stages, associated with disability and loss of functionality. Cardiovascular disease is directly related to different modifiable risk factors, such as smoking, diets high in saturated fat, stress, obesity, diabetes mellitus and sedentary lifestyle. We will devote special interest to the importance of exercise and physical activity in the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease and its benefits. Similarly, exercise has important benefits in preventing cancer as a chronic disease, which will also be described in this article.
