Abstract

Purpose of Review

Narrative review of the author’s main contributions to the field of cardiovascular health spanning four decades, with a focus on findings related to 1- the pathophysiology of obesity, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, and 2- the management/prevention of these conditions. Particular attention is given to the importance of regular physical activity.

Recent Findings

Because behaviors and their physiological consequences are still not measured in clinical practice, it is proposed to systematically assess and target “lifestyle vital signs” (waist circumference, cardiorespiratory fitness, food-based diet quality and level of leisure-time physical activity) in primary care. However, cardiometabolic health of the population will not be substantially improved until our living and economic conditions are permissive to the adoption of healthy behaviors.

Summary

Closing the gap between primary care and public health should be a priority to address the socioeconomic determinants of cardiometabolic health.
