Background: High blood pressure is a category of blood pressure, poorly studied in young adults and is associated with other cardiovascular risk factors. Objective: To estimate the prevalence of high blood pressure and other cardiovascular risk factors in university students of the National University of Asunción-Paraguay.Methods: Cross-sectional study in first-year university students of careers related to health at the National University of Asunción. High blood pressure was considered at a systolic blood pressure of 120-129 mmHg and / or diastolic blood pressure of ?80 mmHg. The anthropometric, lipid and metabolic variables were measured and the smoking and alcohol habit were determined.Results: 284 university students were included in the analysis (mean age [± SD] 19.4 ± 2.1 years, 73.2% were women). The overall prevalence of high blood pressure was 25.5%; (95% CI: 20.5-30.5%) (Men 40%, Women 29%). High blood pressure was associated with increased abdominal circumference (OR: 1.031, 95% CI: 1.005-1.058, p = 0.024); low HDL-C (OR: 1.355, 95% CI 1.054-1.743, p = 0.018); obesity, OR: 2,124; 95% CI: 1.334-3.941; p = 0.007) and DM2 (OR: 4.431, 95% CI: 3,642-7,963, p = <0.001). The prevalence of other cardiovascular risk factors more frequent were alcohol consumption, overweight and obesity. More than 70% of college students have one or more cardiovascular risk factors.Conclusions: high prevalence of high blood pressure and is associated with other cardiovascular risk factors. |
