“…Studies on college students, suggest the prevalence rates of smoking of 5,52% (Hazar et al, 2010), 14.40% (Rodrigues et al, 2010 and 14.65% . Despite the smoking rates in the current study being below the national average, and below the values reported in other studies of college students, this risk factor deserves attention because smoking is a powerful CVD risk factor and acts synergistically with other coronary risk factors to greatly increase the level of risk and the likelihood of death (Zheng et al, 2014).…”

Abstract--To establish the prevalence of coronary risk in physical education students, and compare risk between the genders and the years of course. We evaluated 246 physical education students using RISKO questionnaire to determine eight risk factors: age, heredity, body weight, smoking, physical inactivity, hypercholesterolemia, hypertension and sex. Students had mean coronary risk score of 16.03 ± 3.52 points, rated "below-average risk." Men had significantly greater risk compared to women. No difference was found between the years of course. The prevalence of risk factors were heritability (58.37%), physical inactivity (32.65%), hypercholesterolemia (32.24%), overweight (27.35%), smoking (3.67%) and hypertension (2.45%). The coronary risk of physical education students was rated as below average, being higher among men than women, and no difference in risk between years of course. The most prevalent risk factors were heredity, physical inactivity, overweight and hypercholesterolemia.Keywords: health, epidemiology, cardiovascular disease, primary attention Resumo--"Prevalência de fatores de risco de doença coronariana em estudantes de educação física." Estabelecer a prevalência de risco coronariano em estudantes de educação física, e comparar o risco entre os gêneros e os anos de curso. 246 estudantes de educação física foram avaliados por questionário Risko, que avalia oito fatores de risco: idade, hereditariedade, peso corporal, tabagismo, inatividade física, hipercolesterolemia, hipertensão e sexo. Os alunos tiveram média do escore de risco coronariano de 16,03 ± 3,52 pontos, classificados como "de risco abaixo da média." Os homens tiveram risco significativamente maior em comparação com as mulheres. Não foram encontradas diferenças entre os anos de curso. A prevalência de fatores de risco foram herdabilidade (58,37%), inatividade física (32,65%), hipercolesterolemia (32,24%), sobrepeso (27,35%), fumo (3,67%) e hipertensão arterial (2,45%). O risco coronariano de estudantes de educação física foi classificada como abaixo da média, sendo maior entre os homens do que as mulheres, e não houve diferença no risco entre os anos de curso. Os fatores de risco mais prevalentes foram hereditariedade, sedentarismo, excesso de peso e hipercolesterolemia.Palavras-chave: saúde, epidemiologia, doenças cardiovasculares, atenção primária Resumen--"Prevalencia de factores de riesgo de enfermedad coronaria en los estudiantes de educación física."

“…Despite substantial burden of tobacco on total mortality and cancer-related mortality (Kimman et al, 2012, Zheng et al, 2014, there is limited government effort to reduce smoking prevalence in Indonesia. Unlike several developed countries, where the role of pharmacists in tobacco cessation has widely evidenced and tobacco education is common in pharmacy school, none of the 60 pharmacy are currently offering tobacco-related courses in their existing curriculum (Indonesian Association of Higher Education of Pharmacy, 2009).…”

“…Countries such as the United States and United Kingdom, where the tobacco epidemic has reached stage 4 (the most advanced stage), can provide more reliable evidence of the full extent of tobacco harm. However, results from countries at stage 1, such as China, and the metaanalysis of 21 cohorts from six countries and regions in Asia [12], are certainly underestimates [13][14][15], which will need to be revised with the maturing of the epidemic, repeating the history of underestimates in the West. Underestimates may not be considered as errors, but they can adversely affect estimates of disease burden, public perception, political commitment and tobacco control actions and quitting.…”
