CARDIOVASCULAR RISK FACTORS IN A GROUP OF YOUNG UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
In the province of Misiones, cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the first cause of mortality. We aimed to establish the frequency of major Risk Factors (RF) for CVD in isolated and combined ways, and those related to ther life style and to identify the RF related for Metabolic Syndrome (MS) in a grou...

We worked with a population of 130 university entering students. We prepared a file with personal data, family and personal records, of CVD, high blood pressure (HBP), smoking and physical activity. Anthropometric parameters were assessed and blood pressure. 12 hour fasting blood samples were collected. A 39% showed CVD family antecedents, 31% were smokers, 6% had high blood pressure, 12.7% increased cholesterol, 33.2% decreased HDL–cholesterol, 6.1% were overweight and/or obese, 5.8% showed abdominal obesity and 64% had sedentary habits.

Nos propusimos determinar en un grupo de ingresantes universitarios la frecuencia de Factores de Riesgo (FR) mayores para ECV de forma aislada y combinada y aquellos relacionados con el estilo de vida e identificar los FR para Síndrome Metabólico (SM). Se evaluaron en 130 estudiantes hábitos personales, antecedentes familiares, presión arterial, parámetros antropométricos y bioquímicos con 12 horas de ayuno. El 39% presentó antecedentes familiares de ECV, 31% eran fumadores, 6% hipertensos, 12,7% colesterol elevado, 33,2% col–HDL disminuido, 6,1% tenían sobrepeso y/o obesidad, 5,8% obesidad abdominal y 64% eran sedentarios. El 32% presentó 2 o más FR de forma simultanea. Ninguno presentó SM pero el 16 % tenía al menos 1 FR. De los hallazgos, surge la necesidad de implementar actividades educativas para prevenir el hábito de fumar e incentivar la práctica de actividad física de forma regular.
