Video Summary

In Module 6, the focus is on cardiometabolic disease, which is a combination of risk factors including dyslipidemia, hypertension, and insulin resistance. Cardiometabolic disease can lead to cardiovascular disease and other complications, but it is reversible with effective treatment. The prevalence of the disease is increasing due to factors like obesity and an aging population. Lifestyle changes, such as weight management through nutrition and exercise, are recommended for disease prevention. Different diets, like the Mediterranean, DASH, low glycemic, and high fiber diets, can help improve cardiometabolic risk factors. Other interventions include smoking cessation, pharmacologic therapies for dyslipidemia and hypertension, and insulin resistance management. Care coordination and education are important for improving adherence and patient engagement. In addition, the development of cardiometabolic disease management programs can provide a comprehensive approach to addressing all the components of the disease.
