1. Cardio­vas­cular Diseases
Two kinds of risk factors exist: primary (most important) and secondary (less important). Sedentary, or inactive, living is one primary risk factor, so cardio­vas­cular disease is considered a hypoki­netic condition. . Secondary risk factors include stressful living and excessive alcohol use.

Coronary artery disease is a cardio­vas­cular disease that is the number one cause of early death. Coronary artery disease exists when the arteries in your heart are clogged.
Clogging of the arteries is called athero­scl­erosis. It occurs when substances including fats, such as choles­terol, build up on the inside walls.

It is the third leading cause of death and occurs when the oxygen in the blood supply to the brain is severely reduced or cut off.

High blood pressure is sometimes referred to as hypert­ension. It is the condition in which blood pressure is consis­tently higher than normal.
Normal - <12­0/<180
Prehyp­ert­ension - 120-13­9/80-89

More than 100 different diseases charac­terized by the uncont­rol­lable growth of abnormal cells are catego­rized as cancer. Cancer’s uncont­rolled cells invade normal cells, steal their nutrition, and interfere with the cells’ normal functions.

Types of Diabetes
Type I - is not a hypoki­netic condition. This condition is often hereditary and accounts for about 10% of all diabetics.
Type II - most common kind of diabetes. This is a hypoki­netic condition because people who are physically active are less likely to have it. Overfa­tness is considered to be a major risk factor for Type II diabetes.

This disorder occurs when a person tries to achieve an ideal body by doing excessive exercise. The ideal body is unreal­istic and distorted.

Backache is considered a hypoki­netic condition because weak and short muscles are linked to some types of back problems. Poor posture also is associated with muscles that are not strong or long enough.

Lordosis, which is too much arch in the lower back. Lordosis, also called swayback, results when the abdominal muscles are weak and the hip flexor muscles (iliop­soas) are too strong and too short. Lordosis is a problem that can lead to backache.
