00:09.810 --> 00:12.032
So as you know , cardiovascular disease

00:12.032 --> 00:14.310
is the number one killer of all adults ,

00:14.310 --> 00:16.559
both men and women . However , it

00:16.569 --> 00:19.200
doesn't have to be a surprise . We know

00:19.209 --> 00:21.265
that there are specific risk factors

00:21.265 --> 00:23.209
for cardiovascular disease . Those

00:23.209 --> 00:25.209
risks include but aren't limited to

00:25.209 --> 00:26.987
high blood pressure , increased

00:26.987 --> 00:30.809
cholesterol diabetes , obesity , which

00:30.819 --> 00:33.990
all are what we call modifiable . Now ,

00:34.000 --> 00:36.380
some risk factors are nonmodifiable .

00:36.700 --> 00:39.479
Those things are things such as age ,

00:39.490 --> 00:41.601
your gender and your family history .

00:41.770 --> 00:43.610
So one thing that I encourage my

00:43.619 --> 00:45.730
patients to do is to know your family

00:45.730 --> 00:48.330
history , get up and move and watch

00:48.340 --> 00:49.450
those risk factors .
