Objective: Otto Warburg at the beginning of the 20th century around 1931 determined that the cause of cancer, in addition to being the consequence of an unphysiological diet, was also related to an unphysiological lifestyle; our objective in this study is to demonstrate the importance of lifestyle behavior in its relationship with the disease.
Methodology: This is a systematic literature review where all searches were conducted in English between the years 2019 and 2023 (both included) related to articles that identified any special characteristic that could occur between a behavior and a disease; for this purpose, search engines such as Pubmed, Cuiden and VHL Regional Research Portal were used.
Results: The results of our study seem to confirm the importance of behavior in the development, maintenance or recovery of a disease; a factor to be taken into account especially in diseases such as cancer.
Conclusion: We have seen how health is significantly influenced by the existence of certain behavioral patterns; we must pay special attention to those attitudes that we have maintained throughout our lives and that have affected us emotionally because sooner or later they could also end up affecting our organism
