“…This would be an unexpected result as it is not the practice to screen for dyslipidemia in a healthy group of young adults like our study population. The studies that have assessed the CVD risk among medical students and other university students report prevalence of 8-9% of hypertriglyceridaemia, 14-24% of low HDL and 9.1-26% of hypercholesterolaemia (8,9,19,20). The prevalence of hypercholesterolaemia and low HDL reported in the current study are higher than the previous studies.…”

“…While no one was having hypertension in our study sample, 4% had pre-hypertension, which marks a risk of developing hypertension in future and this could be a result of unhealthy diet and stressful lifestyle as well as familial tendency. When compared to results from other studies done in the region and the world (8,19,20,21,22,23), this prevalence is not high. According to these studies, the prevalence of hypertension among medical students and other undergraduates with ages ranging from 18 to 36 years, varied between 1.3% and 17% while the prevalence of pre-hypertension was much higher.…”

Introduction : Non-communicable diseases (NCD) are emerging in all ages, with cardio-metabolic diseases being a leading cause of morbidity and mortality.OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence of cardio-metabolic risk among medical students of a selected Faculty of Medicine in Colombo.METHOD: A cross-sectional study was conducted among medical students (volunteered from all 5 batches) of the selected faculty. Data was collected using a self-administered questionnaire. Anthropometry and body composition were assessed. Blood pressure was measured and after a 12-hour-overnight-fast, blood was drawn for fasting blood glucose (FBG), lipid profile and two-hour oral glucose tolerance test.RESULTS: Final sample included 188 students (males=66). Mean (SD) age was 23.1yrs (1.7) and mean BMI 22.0 kg/m 2 (3.4). Prevalence of overweight was 35.1% (95%CI 28.3-41.9), obesity 5.9% (95%CI 2.5-9.3) and central obesity 16.9% (95%CI 11.5-22.3). 25.8% of males and 46.7% of females had abnormally high percentage body fat. Impaired FBG and impaired glucose tolerance were seen in 13.8% and 1.1% respectively. 25.4%, 12.2%, 31.6%, 5.3% had hypercholesterolemia, high LDL, low HDL and hypertriglyceridemia respectively. Consumption of alcohol was seen in 9%, low physical activity in 39.5%, sedentary life in 58%, low consumption of vegetables in 83.4% and low consumption of fruits in 86%. Males had higher rate of overweight/obesity (p=0.02), abnormal W/Height ratio (p=0.04), hypertriglyceridemia (p=0.06) while females had higher abnormal fat mass (p=0.005) and W/Hip ratio (p=0.000).CONCLUSIONS: Medical students (young adults) have high prevalence of cardio-metabolic risk, highlighting the importance of routine screening, proper health education and behaviour modification for these future doctors who should be role models of health.

“…The prevalence of arterial blood pressure in our study was higher than that reported by Giroto et al 19 (7%), and Rabelo et al 5 , who studied the prevalence of risk factors for atherosclerotic disease in students between 19 and 25 years of age and recorded 15.8% of arterial hypertension.…”

“…La herencia familiar, como factor de riesgo inmodificable, muestra que las condiciones como hipertensión arterial, hipercolesterolemia, diabetes e infarto cardiaco temprano (16), derrame cerebral y cáncer, se encuentran registradas como antecedentes en la mayor parte del grupo estudiado; esto coincide con lo hallado en estudios previos en estudiantes universitarios, en los que se obtuvo que un porcentaje igual a 80,5% de los encuestados afirmaron tener antecedentes familiares de diabetes, obesidad, hipertensión, enfermedades cardiovasculares o hipercolesterolemia, en el mismo orden de distribución (17).…”

Introducción. Algunos estudios de gran alcance sugieren que los individuos con alto riesgo cardiovascular en la mediana edad pueden ser identificados por una mayor presencia de factores de riesgo en edades tempranas. Objetivos. Estimar la prevalencia y la agrupación de factores de riesgo biológicos y de comportamiento de enfermedad cardiovascular en adultos jóvenes en un barrio de Cartagena de Indias. Materiales y métodos. Se llevó a cabo un estudio descriptivo de corte transversal en 207 personas de 20 a 44 años, con aplicación de entrevistas, mediciones antropométricas y tomas de muestras sanguíneas para evaluar la glucemia y el perfil lipídico. Resultados. El 80% (IC95% 73,6-86,4) presentó historia familiar de enfermedades cardiovasculares. Se halló una prevalencia de 37% (IC95% 30,4-43,6) para factores de riesgo conductuales, como la inactividad física, y de 66% (IC95% 59,5-72,5) para el consumo de dieta aterogénica. El consumo de alcohol y tabaco fue significativamente mayor en los varones. La prevalencia de factores de riesgo biológicos fue de 42% (IC95% 35,3-48,7) para cHDL (high-density lipid cholesterol) bajo, de 39% (IC95% 32,4-45,6) para hipertrigliceridemia, de 34% (IC95% 27,5-40,5) para cLDL (low density lipid cholesterol) elevado y de 21% (IC95% 15,5-26,5) para síndrome metabólico. Se observó presencia de tres o más factores de riesgo biológico en el 30% (IC95% 23,8-36,2); de uno o dos, en el 54% (IC95% 47,2-60,8), y el 16% (IC95 % 11,0-21,0) de los participantes no presentó ninguno de ellos. Conclusión. La alta prevalencia de factores de riesgo cardiovascular en adultos jóvenes subraya la importancia de las políticas encaminadas a reducirlos mediante estrategias de prevención.Palabras clave: enfermedades cardiovasculares, dislipidemias, síndrome X metabólico, factores de riesgo, estilo de vida, grasa intraabdominal, promoción de la salud. Active search and assessment of cardiovascular risk factors in young adults, Cartagena de Indias, 2007Introduction. Extensive clinical and statistical studies suggest that individuals with high overall cardiovascular risk in midlife can be identified by their relatively higher values of risk factors at younger ages. Objectives. To estimate the prevalence and clustering of recognized biological and behavioral cardiovascular disease risk factors among young adults in a neighborhood in Cartagena de Indias. Methods. A cross-sectional descriptive study was performed. A sample of 207 young adults were interviewed in order to obtain information regarding their anthropometric and behavioral characteristics. Each individual's standardized glucaemia and serum lipids were measured. Results. In 80 % (95%CI: 73.6-86.4) family history of cardiovascular disease was present; 37% (95%CI: 30.4-43.6) had behavioral risk factors including physical inactivity, and in 66% (95%CI: 59.5-72.5) atherogenic diet. Alcohol and tobacco consumption were significantly higher in males. Biological risk factor prevalence was 42% (35.3-48.7) for low cHDL, 39% (IC95%: 32.4-45.6) for hypertriglycerid...
