Background. Statistics show that the cardiovascular health (CVH) of young Michigan residents is problematic, yet little is known about the CVH of Michigan’s college students. This study sought to (1) estimate the prevalence of ideal levels of CVH metrics among college students, (2) assess their CVH knowledge, and (3) examine the association between students’ CVH knowledge level and sociodemographics on their CVH behaviors. Methods. A cross-sectional survey was administered online from August 2017 to April 2018. The survey included questions related to students’ demographic characteristics, CVH behaviors, presence of CVH factors, and knowledge of ideal levels for CVH metrics. The study included 341 Oakland University students aged 20 to 40 years. Descriptive statistics estimated students’ CVH status and knowledge of CVH measures. Generalized ordinal logistic regression analyses examined the association between students’ CVH knowledge level and sociodemographic characteristics on their CVH behaviors. All analyses were performed using STATA MP14. Results. More than 87% of the participants did not have an ideal body mass index level. Students’ CVH knowledge score significantly decreased (odds ratio = 0.80, 95% confidence interval = 0.67-0.96) with each increase in the number of non-ideal CVH behaviors performed. Conclusions. Michigan college students may benefit from lifestyle interventions that improve their knowledge of CVH and promote ideal CVH behaviors.

“…Biological risk factors for AAEAs include hypertension, 5,17–19 diabetes, 20–24 obesity, 25–27 metabolic syndrome, 28–32 and CVD biomarkers (ie, hyperlipidemia, triglycerides, large artery stiffness, waist/hip circumference ratios, and neck circumference, 33–37 and carotid artery intima-media thickness 34,37,38 ). Behavioral CVD risk factors in AAEAs include inadequate diet/nutrition, 39–44 inadequate physical activity, 42,45,46 smoking, 47–56 and insufficient or ineffective sleep 57–59 .…”

“…Evidence exists that many AAEAs already have biological and behavioral risk factors, social and structural determinants of health, psychosocial environment, stress, and cultural practices that influence their health behaviors. Biological risk factors for AAEAs include hypertension, 5,[17][18][19] diabetes, [20][21][22][23][24] obesity, [25][26][27] metabolic syndrome, [28][29][30][31][32] and CVD biomarkers (ie, hyperlipidemia, triglycerides, large artery stiffness, waist/hip circumference ratios, and neck circumference, [33][34][35][36][37] and carotid artery intima-media thickness 34,37,38 ). Behavioral CVD risk factors in AAEAs include inadequate diet/nutrition, [39][40][41][42][43][44] inadequate physical activity, 42,45,46 smoking, [47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56] and insufficient or ineffective sleep.…”

Although not all risk factors are present in every AAEA, assessment is critical.…”

Background: Emerging adulthood (18-25 years old) is a distinct developmental period in which multiple life transitions pose barriers to engaging in healthy lifestyle behaviors that reduce cardiovascular disease risk. There is limited theory-based research on African American emerging adults. Objective: This article introduces a synthesized empirically testable situation-specific theory for cardiovascular disease prevention in African American emerging adults. Methodology: Im and Meleis' integrative approach was used to develop the situation-specific theory. Results: Unlocking Population-Specific Treatments to Render Equitable Approach and Management in Cardiovascular Disease is a situation-specific theory developed based on theoretical and empirical evidence and theorists' research and clinical practice experiences. Discussion: African American emerging adults have multifaceted factors that influence health behaviors and healthcare needs. Unlocking Population-Specific Treatments to Render Equitable Approaches and Management in Cardiovascular Disease has the potential to inform theory-guided clinical practice and nursing research. Recommendations for integration in nursing practice, research, and policy advocacy are presented. Further critique and testing of the theory are required.
