    (2023) Pacuruco Cajas, Julio Ignacio; Quijije Castro, Jember Javier; Toledo Rivera, Esteban Andres; Bueno Quizhpi, Paola Fernanda; Buenano Rodriguez, Christian Eduardo
    Cardiovascular diseases and the high rates of morbidity and mortality associated with them have become one of the main rea-sons for concern in public health, due to the great burden they have worldwide. In recent decades, thanks to in-dustrialization, globalization, technological advance, and the increase in activities that prolong the sitting position, conditions such as overweight, obesity or habits such as sedentary behaviors, they have gradually become little by little in real risk factors for the development of cardio-metabolic events. Thus, the investigations have been aimed at identifying the risk factors that predispose to the development or appearance of these diseases, so that they can be addressed in a timely manner. There-fore, knowing the nutritional status, body composition (through the body mass index), psychobiological habits and the degree of physical inactivity of individuals, are part of the initial assessment of their health status. Although it is known that excess weight or low physical activity are associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular events, the role of each of these conditions as independent risk factors is still not completely clear. In this context, this research aims to review the available epidemiological evidence on the impact of body mass index and sedentary lifestyle as independent cardiovascular risk factors.
