Abstract

Objetive: To verify the lipid profile of university students and their relationship with other cardiovascular risk factors. Methodology: A descriptive study, with 550 students from a public university in the city of Picos-PI, developed from January to March 2013, through form and laboratory analysis of blood material. Results: 5.8% of the students had high waist circumference and 20.4% were overweight. 1.3% and 18.9% were with fasting glycemia and high triglycerides, respectively; 64.5% had low high density cholesterol and 8.7% peripheral blood pressure levels. Elevated waist circumference was associated with altered triglyceride and high density cholesterol values. Conclusion: These results reinforce the assertion that there is a high frequency of overweight, sedentary lifestyle and changes in the lipid profile of university students, where blood glucose, body mass index and waist circumference were associated with lipid abnormalities. Key words: Cardiovascular diseases. Disorders of lipid metabolism. Students. Young adult. RESUMO Objetivo: verificar o perfil lipídico de estudantes universitários e a sua relação com outros fatores de risco cardiovascular. Metodologia: Estudo descritivo, com 550 estudantes de uma universidade pública na cidade de Picos-PI, desenvolvido de janeiro a março de 2013, por meio de formulário e análise laboratorial de material sanguíneo. Resultados: Dos estudantes, 5,8% apresentavam circunferência abdominal elevada e 20,4% excesso de peso. 1,3% e 18,9% estavam com a glicemia de jejum e triglicerídeos elevados, respectivamente; 64,5% apresentaram colesterol de alta densidade baixo e 8,7% níveis pressóricos limítrofes. A circunferência abdominal elevada esteve associada com valores alterados de triglicerídeos e colesterol de alta densidade. Conclusão: Estes resultados reforçam a assertiva de que há alta frequência de excesso de peso, de sedentarismo e de alterações no perfil lipídico dos universitários, onde glicemia, índice de massa corporal e circunferência abdominal estiveram associados a alterações lipídicas.

Metodologia: Estudio descriptivo, 550 estudiantes de una universidad pública en la ciudad de Picos-PI, desarrollado entre enero y marzo de 2013, utilizando un análisis de laboratorio cuestionario y de material de sangre. Resultados: De los estudiantes, 5.8% tenían alta circunferencia de la cintura y el 20,4% de sobrepeso. 1,3% y el 18,9% estaban en ayunas de glucosa en plasma y niveles altos de triglicéridos, respectivamente; 64,5% tenían el colesterol de alta densidad y niveles de presión arterial limítrofe 8,7%. Alta circunferencia de la cintura se asoció con valores modificados de triglicéridos y colesterol de alta densidad.

Risk factor for dyslipidemia in brazilian and international universities

“…It was found, in a study conducted with 550 Brazilian university students, that the age group from 18 to 25 years presented the most alterations in the lipid profile, with a positive relation for increased triglycerides. 10 It was revealed in a study conducted at a university in Brazil, with 149 health students, aged between 18 and 35 years, that only 20.14% had desirable levels for lipid profile. 11 It was identified, in 2016, in an investigation by telephone survey in the capitals of the 26 Brazilian DISCUSSION https://periodicos.ufpe.br/revistas/revistaenfermagem/index states and the Federal District, on surveillance of risk factors and protection for chronic diseases, that the frequency of previous medical diagnosis of dyslipidemia reported by adults, aged 18 years and over, ranged from 17.7% in Porto Velho to 28.7% in Aracaju.…”
