Document of recommendations of the SEA 2018. Lifestyle in cardiovascular prevention. Clin Investig Arterioscler. 2018 Nov-Dec;30(6):280-310. English, Spanish.2529-9123http://hdl.handle.net/10668/12970Lifestyle is a complex concept that includes aspects external to ourselves that can modulate and influence our health. The knowledge of the relationship between lifestyle and cardiovascular risk does not attain the level of evidence achieved with clinical trials with drugs, because clinical studies are scarce and mainly of observational nature, albeit based on large cohorts. Nutritional epidemiology has the added difficulty of being based mostly on subjective dietary recall methods to ascertain nutrient and food intake over time, with the additional problems of incomplete data collection, variable measurements of adherence due to seasonal and geographical differences in food composition, and the changing eating behavior that human beings have over time. The purpose of this document is to carry out an updated and hierarchical review of the relationship between lifestyle and cardiovascular disease based on current evidence, paying attention to three aspects that are of great pathogenic importance and are directly modifiable: physical activity, tobacco consumption, and diet. With this, we intend to update the knowledge on this relationship, construct evidence-based recommendations, and provide a simple tool for clinical practice especially directed to health professionals involved in the care of people at cardiovascular risk, defining simple and easy strategies for individuals who receive advice for the primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular diseases.enAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Adherencia a dietaAlcoholAlimentos funcionalesDieta mediterránea, Actividad física, TabaquismoDietary adherenceEstilo de vidaFunctional foodsLife styleMediterranean dietPhysical activitySmokingCardiovascular DiseasesDietExerciseHealth BehaviorHumansLife StyleRisk FactorsTobacco Useresearch article30236615open accessAlimentos funcionalesDieta MediterráneaEjercicio físicoEstilo de vidaFumar10.1016/j.artere.2018.11.001.1578-1879https://doi.org/10.1016/j.arteri.2018.06.005
