Brief summary: To investigate the health effects of a new mobile application (app) for prevention and personalized treatment in people with chronic cardiovascular pathologies associated with body composition.

Detailed description: Scientific evidence has shown that the adoption of the Mediterranean diet is a protective factor against the appearance of several types of cancer, cardiovascular diseases, aging and obesity due to the amount of nutrients with anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory and anti-obesity properties that jointly contribute to the maintenance of health status. The antitumor effects of the Mediterranean diet are mainly due to the combination of antioxidant elements, fiber and polyunsaturated fats. Therefore, this dietary pattern is essential as a preventive measure against the onset of cancer and other chronic diseases, but also to reduce health care costs.

Monitoring physical activity should be considered as a central factor when addressing precision nutrition. Perform physical activity and exercise, as they are key components of energy expenditure and balance, in addition, structural changes occur in muscles, increase in the number of mitochondria in fiber, secretion of metabolically beneficial hormones with reversal of muscle insulin resistance and reduction of hepatic lipogenesis. Regardless of intensity, short-term exercise has been shown to improve adiposity and insulin sensitivity, which may help reduce metabolic risk. Boutcher et al. also demonstrated that intermittent aerobic and anaerobic exercise performed at an intensity \>70% of maximal oxygen uptake significantly reduces ambulatory and office blood pressure in hypertensive individuals.

The development of this app aims, through self-management and visualizing the altered parameters and how they will evolve in your body in the short, medium and long term, to increase the population's commitment to these pathologies, in order to improve their health.
