“…The observations of the study of Bogalusa [12][13][14]32 , which followed children from birth to 26 years of age, have indicated that cardiovascular risk factors had a constant behavior throughout childhood and adolescence; this would imply that children who had an adverse cardiovascular profile (located at the highest percentile of the variables) might be more prone to cardiovascular diseases in adulthood. Among the anthropometric, hemodynamic and metabolic variables, weight, height, SBP and LDL-cholesterol showed the highest correlation coefficients over eight years.…”

“…At that time, the group had higher mean anthropometric indexes and lower mean HDL-cholesterol, emphasizing the importance of the presence of overweight associated with changes in BP, as future markers of higher BP, weight and metabolic changes. It should be noted that lower values of HDL-cholesterol have been valued as initial lipid change in young adults 14,32 .…”

“…However, puberty alone cannot explain the establishment of CVRF, since there are environmental 2 , socioeconomic and psychological conditions 3 that influence onset. It has been documented that presence of hypercholesterolemia, smoking and high blood pressure (HBP) between ages 6 and 30 are associated with appearance of atherosclerotic lesions later in life 4 and the number of CVRF is directly related to the severity of these lesions 5 . The clustering of certain CVRF (obesity, hyperglycemia, hypertriglyceridemia, low levels of high density lipoprotein cholesterol and HBP), sometimes referred to as the "metabolic syndrome" (MS), may foster development of early cardiovascular events; causing losses for society, increasing the cost of health services and negatively affecting patients' quality of life.…”

SummaryObjective. To estimate prevalence and distribution of cardiovascular risk factors and Metabolic Syndrome (MS) in young individuals admitted to the National University of Colombia in Bogotá.MethOds. An analytic cross-sectional study was conducted in a sample of 249 individuals of both genders aged 15 to 20 years. A questionnaire was personally administered to collect demographic, socioeconomic, smoking, perinatal, and women's health data. Anthropometric measurements, blood pressure, and a fasting blood sample were taken. Prevalence of MS was determined and compared using criteria from several qualified institutions. Results. We found a high prevalence of smoking (18.9%), arterial prehypertension (14.1%) and overweight (11.2%), 9.2% of study participants had prediabetes, and the most frequent dyslipidemia was low HDL cholesterol (13.3%). Alcoholic beverage consumption was declared by 60.6% of study participants. Body mass index was associated with significant increases in blood pressure, LDL cholesterol and plasma triglyceride levels. Gestational age at birth was inversely associated with presence of low HDL cholesterol levels and high blood pressure. Prevalence of the MS varied markedly according to the definition employed: 9.2% using REGODCI (Research Group on Diabetes and Chronic Illnesses) criteria, 2% using IDF (International Diabetes Federation) criteria, and 2.4% using AHA (American Heart Association) criteria. cOnclusiOn. The encountered prevalence of modifiable cardiovascular risk factors justifies promotion of therapeutic lifestyle changes among this age group in Colombia. Further harmonization of MS criteria in young individuals is needed. caRdiOvasculaR Risk factORs and MetabOlic syndROMe in a pOpulatiOn Of yOung students fROM the natiOnal univeRsity Of cOlOMbia jOhn edwin felicianO-alfOnsO 1* , caRlOs OliMpO Mendivil 2 , iván daRíO sieRRa aRiza 3 , claRa eugenia péRez 4 Study conducted at

ResumoObjetivO. Relatar a extensão do conhecimento de pediatras de São Paulo sobre a diretriz. MétOdOs. Durante eventos de pediatria ou nos locais de trabalho, pediatras responderam um questionário contendo informações sobre o tempo de formação, local de trabalho, dedicação dentro da área de pediatria, atuação em área acadêmica e questões de múltipla escolha com informações retiradas da diretriz. As diferenças de expressão e associações foram consideradas significantes estatisticamente quando p<0,05. Todas as análises foram realizadas usando teste de Quiquadrado e teste de Quiquadrado de tendência linear por meio dos Softwares Primer of Biostatistics ou SPSS for Windows. ResultadOs. Dos 370 pediatras entrevistados, 65,7% afirmaram não ter tido conhecimento prévio da diretriz. O valor de corte para os acertos foi maior ou igual a 70% (maior ou igual a cinco questões corretas). Apenas 136 pediatras (36,7%) alcançaram tal valor e dentre esses não havia relação no conhecimento da diretriz quanto aos sexos (p=0,25). Dos 187 profissionais envolvidos em atividades acadêmicas, 45 (24%) acertaram o valor de corte e dos 183 não participantes de atividades acadêmicas, 23 (12,7%) acertaram maior ou igual a cinco questões (p<0,001). Pediatras do setor público apresentaram melhor conhecimento da prática preventiva da aterosclerose (46,1%; p=0,01). O desconhecimento da diretriz foi independente do tempo de formação. COnClusãO. A meta da diretriz de servir como referência para o estabelecimento de estratégias individuais e populacionais no controle dos fatores de risco para a aterosclerose desde a infância não foi alcançada na cidade de São Paulo. A divulgação mais adequada e cursos de educação médica continuada em que o conhecimento da diretriz se torne mais efetivo são sugeridos para corrigir tais achados.unitermos: Prevenção primária.
