“…Our results also show that at this young age (18-30 years) the waist circumference has a serious potential to affect the blood pressure level at an early adulthood in both sexes. Similar results was found of other authors (Jain et al, 2014). In the aforementioned study, the pressure components -SBP and DBP correlated to all of the evaluated anthropometric indicators, but WC has shown higher correlation both in males and females.…”

“…but the rate of prehypertension is very lower (8.6%), than our data. The results for current study for prehypertension and hypertension were lower compared to the results of other study in students from India (Jain et al, 2014), Malaysia (Cheah et al, 2018). Also our results showed insignificant lower percentage on hypertension compared with studies that found 7% hypertension in Kuwait (Al-Majed, Sadek, 2012) and 7.5% in Saudi Arabia (Baig et al, 2015).…”

The aim of this paper is to investigate the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors and their conection with health risk anthropometrical factors among Bulgarian university students, the main in the South Bulgaria. The sample population of the study included total 386 young people, of which 303 females and 83 males, between 18-30 years of age i.e. the mean age is 21.3-21.4 years. They were from different regions of Bulgaria, mainly from Southern Bulgaria.The study was conducted transversally in the period between 2015 and 2017. For each person the weight, height, waist circumference and blood pressure were measured. On this base the body mass index and waist to height ratio were calculated by formulas. Underweight was defined as BMI< 18.5 kg/m2, overweight as BMI 25-29.9 kg/m2 and obesity as BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2. Waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) was used for evaluation of central (abdominal) obesity, that was defined as WHtR ≥ 0.5. The prehypertension was defined when SBP > 120 <139 and/or DBP > 80 <89 mmHg and hypertension when SBP ≥ 140 and/or DBP ≥ 90mmHg. The statistical processing of the data was done using software package Statistica 10.0 and SPSS 20.0 by means of descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis. The results show that the underweight occurs among 1.2% of the men and among 15.2% of the women, the overweight occur among 32.5% of men and 13.9% of women and obesity was found among 10.8% of the men and 8.6% of the women.Central obesity occur among 32% of males and 17% of females, independently of their nutritional status. The prehypertension occur among 46% of the men and 28% of the women.The hypertension found among 18% of the men and among 2% of the women. Among male students with prehypertension the overweight occur among 35.7%, and obesity occur among 10.7% of participants, while among hypertensive male the overweight and obesity occurs in 18.2% and 36.4%, respectively. In group of prehypertensive females 22.4% are overweight and 14.9% are obese. Hypertension occur among 20% of overweight and 40% of obese female students. In group of central obese male the prehypertension and hypertension occurs among 55% and 20%, respectively. Among central obese females 47.5% are prehypertensive and 7.5% are hypertensive. The results also show that the waist circumference has a serious potential to influence on the blood pressure level at an early adulthood in both sexes. The higher prevalence of elevated blood pressure, overweight, general and central obesity among Bulgarian university students maybe connect with factors such as a sex, hormonal status, hereditary burden and sexual differences in some lifestyle habits as a nutrition, smoking, alcohol consumption, physical activity, individual physiological and biochemical status, psychological stress during student life and other. The prevalence of this risk factors among young Bulgarian adults needs of urgent attention and further evaluation because of the grave consequences of obesity and hypertension and because the hypertension and overweight is an impo...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES: Hypertension, obesity and nutritional anemia is highly prevalent and largely undiagnosed among dental students. Early identification of these diseases is essential among them, considering their role as future surgeons and role models in public health intervention. Prevalence of hypertension, obesity and anemia among the dental students of Bareilly was studied. METHODS: This cross sectional study was carried out among the first year students of Institute of Dental Sciences, Bareilly after obtaining institutional ethical committee clearance and informed consent of respondents. A structured and pretested questionnaire was used to collect information about the respondent's demographic profile, family history of hypertension and diabetes, the measurement of blood pressure, anthropometrical parameters and anemia. RESULTS: Out of the 107 respondents, nearly 28.0% had a positive family history of hypertension and/or diabetes. The prevalence of hypertension was 27.1% while about 28.0 % were found to be overweight. Nearly 57.6% had an increased waist hip ratio and about 14.8% were anemic. A higher proportion of males were found to be overweight and hypertensive as compared to the females, the difference being statistically insignificant. Increased waist hip ratio was found to be significantly higher among the males while anemia was significantly higher among the females (p<0.05). CONCLUSION: Early identification of hypertension, obesity and anemia and their modification among dental students is required.

Background and Purpose: To examine the co-occurrence of cardiovascular risk factors and cluster subgroups of college students for cardiovascular risks. Methods: A cross sectional descriptive study was conducted using co-occurrence patterns and hierarchical clustering analysis in 158 college students. Results: The top co-occurring cardiovascular risk factors were overweight/obese and hypertension (10.8%, n = 17). Of the total 34 risk factors that co-occurred, 30 of them involved being overweight/obese. A six-cluster-solution was obtained, two clusters displayed elevated levels of lifetime and 30-year cardiovascular disease risks. Conclusions: The hierarchical cluster analysis identified that single White males with a family history of heart disease, overweight/obese, hypertensive or diabetes, and occasionally (weekly) consumed red meat, take antihypertensive medication, and hyperlipidemia were considered the higher risk group compared to other subgroups.
