Arterial hypertension belongs to the group of the most common cardiovascular diseases and represents elevated blood pressure above 140/90 mmHg. A significant risk factor for the development of hypertension is improper diet, lack of physical activity, excess body weight or consumption of alcohol and cigarettes. The aim of this work was to evaluate the level of blood pressure and the risk factors of hypertension present among student population. The research was conducted in the form of a cross-sectional study among students of the College of Vocational Studies in Subotica, during summer semester 2022. The research instrument was a survey questionnaire designed for the needs of this study, as well as a digital "Microlife" tensiometer. The SPSS 20 program was used for statistical analysis. 33 students participated in the research, mostly women (91%), average age 26 years. The average systolic arterial blood pressure of the subjects was 118/74 mmHg. In 15% of the subjects, we found elevated systolic blood pressure, and in 18%, elevated diastolic blood pressure. The conducted research revealed the presence of risk factors in daily habits, such as smoking in two thirds of respondents, habits of subsequent salting of food and consumption of sweets, coffee in more than half of respondents. In order to reduce these impacts, it is necessary to carry out health and educational work with the younger population in order to raise awareness about the prevention of hypertension.

Poor dietary habits have become one of the most important concerns among public health policy makers in recent years, due to the impact they have on both economic and health systems of a country. The transitional period toward young adulthood, marked with high school graduation and the beginning of college years, has been identified as critical in terms of its influence on young people’s bad eating habits. The aim of this study was to assess whether the results obtained through Food Frequency Questionnaire significantly correlate with standard body parameters. Participants included 210 students from the University of Banja Luka, with the mean age of 21.94 ± 2.73 years. Factorization of Food Frequency Questionnaire Instrument extracted seven factors which were subjected to multiple regression analysis as independent variables, and correlated to dependent variables - anthropological measurements. This study shows that the factors labeled as consumption of bread, consumption of healthy food, and intake of carbohydrates, are significantly related to Body Fat Percentage, whereas factors labeled as intake of food of animal origin, and intake of fruits and vegetables, are statistically significant in terms of their relation to Waist-to-Hip Ratio. Only one factor, labeled as intake of unhealthy food, is significantly related to Body Mass Index; this is to suggest that Body Mass Index has again showed many limitations with regard to its research relevance. This research has also found that students of the University of Banja Luka typically consume white bread, known to have a direct link with overweight and obesity.
