Abstract:
PURPOSE:To evaluate the presence of risk factors (RF) for coronary disease in a group of university students (US). METHODS:We studied 123 US, 88 (71.55%) females, mean age 21 +/- 3.52 years, submitted to questionary, interview, physical examination and serum analises. Eighty six women informed about oral contraceptive use. Serum lipid levels were measured in 66 women and 21 men. Statistical analysis was proceded by analysis descritive. RESULTS:Sedentarism was observed in 51.14% and smoking in 19.32%; this two RF were observed in 5.71% of males. In 86 women, 53.49% never used oral contraceptives, 17.44% used it in the past and 29.07% were presently in use. Family history of cardiovascular diseases, was unknown in 34.95% of US. Systolic arterial pressure was higher in men. In 22.99%, cholesterol (C) and LDL-C were, respectively higher than 200mg/dl and 130mg/dl; HDL-C were low of 35mg/dl in 2.3%. There were no differences between the two sexes in the dosages of HDL-C. CONCLUSION:RF were frequent in the studied group and smoking, sedentarism and dislipidemy are larger prevalent. Preventive measures are important because can be controlled or removed.
