1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,000 2 00:00:09,810 --> 00:00:12,032 So as you know , cardiovascular disease 3 00:00:12,032 --> 00:00:14,310 is the number one killer of all adults , 4 00:00:14,310 --> 00:00:16,559 both men and women . However , it 5 00:00:16,569 --> 00:00:19,200 doesn't have to be a surprise . We know 6 00:00:19,209 --> 00:00:21,265 that there are specific risk factors 7 00:00:21,265 --> 00:00:23,209 for cardiovascular disease . Those 8 00:00:23,209 --> 00:00:25,209 risks include but aren't limited to 9 00:00:25,209 --> 00:00:26,987 high blood pressure , increased 10 00:00:26,987 --> 00:00:30,809 cholesterol diabetes , obesity , which 11 00:00:30,819 --> 00:00:33,990 all are what we call modifiable . Now , 12 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,380 some risk factors are nonmodifiable . 13 00:00:36,700 --> 00:00:39,479 Those things are things such as age , 14 00:00:39,490 --> 00:00:41,601 your gender and your family history . 15 00:00:41,770 --> 00:00:43,610 So one thing that I encourage my 16 00:00:43,619 --> 00:00:45,730 patients to do is to know your family 17 00:00:45,730 --> 00:00:48,330 history , get up and move and watch 18 00:00:48,340 --> 00:00:49,450 those risk factors .
