Behavioral medicine is a multidisciplinary field that has a key role in reducing risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD). The purpose of this review is to describe the role of behavioral medicine for CVD prevention, using physical activity behaviors (e.g., sedentary behavior, daily physical activity, or exercise) as an exemplar. Application of behavioral medicine to improve dietary behaviors is also briefly discussed.
Behavioral medicine interventions that address physical activity behaviors are associated with improved cardiovascular risk factors. Interventions framed in behavior change theory that integrate behavior change techniques to reduce sedentary behavior and promote daily physical activity and exercise have similarly been applied to improve certain dietary behaviors and show promise for reducing CVD risk factors. Behavioral medicine has an important role in improving various physical activity behaviors for all populations, which is essential for preventing or managing CVD. Further investigation into behavioral medicine interventions that address personal, environmental, and social factors that influence participation in physical activity behaviors, as well as the adoption of a more optimal dietary pattern, is warranted.
行为医学是一个多学科领域，在降低心血管疾病 (CVD) 的风险因素方面发挥着关键作用。本综述的目的是描述行为医学在 CVD 预防中的作用，以体力活动行为（例如，久坐行为、日常体力活动或运动）为例。还简要讨论了应用行为医学来改善饮食行为。
针对体力活动行为的行为医学干预措施与改善心血管风险因素有关。以行为改变理论为框架，整合行为改变技术以减少久坐行为并促进日常体力活动和运动的干预措施，同样适用于改善某些饮食行为，并有望降低 CVD 的风险因素。行为医学在改善所有人群的各种体力活动行为方面发挥着重要作用，这对于预防或管理 CVD 至关重要。有必要进一步研究针对个人、环境和社会因素的行为医学干预措施，这些因素影响体力活动行为的参与，以及采用更理想的饮食模式。
