Association of modifiable cardiovascular risk factors and functional capacity in university populations aged 18 to 29

Ավելացրեք ցուցիչ | Ամփոփում: | Context. Cardiovascular diseases are the major cause of death worldwide; smoking, sedentary lifestyle and eating habits are the main modicable cardiovascular risk factors. Objective. To identify the modifiable cardiovascular risk factors presented by university students and, establish the association between cardiovascular modificable risk factors and the cardiovascular capacity determined by the “six minute walk”. Material and Methods. Observational, cross-sectional, field, non-experimental and correlational study. The population was 421 subjects and the sample was 229 university students (young adults) of both genders (30.6% male, 69.4% female), from 18 to 29 years old. The subjects analyzed are located at an altitude of 2,850m. Sampling was proportional stratified probabilistic. The techniques applied were: the survey, designed based on the basic questionnaire: "WHO STEPS Instrument", Questionnaire for the Identification of Disorders Due to Alcohol Consumption and International Questionnaire on Physical Activity; and the “six minute walk”. The instruments used have international validation. Results. 93% of the subjects present one or more modifiable cardiovascular risk factors; the predominant ones were: alcohol consumption (84.7%) and sedentary lifestyle (81.7%). 62% present moderate cardiovascular risk. The level of cardiovascular risk has a weak correlation with oxygen consumption (VO2) (r=0.20); there is a statistically significant relationship between the level of physical activity and VO2 (p=0.02). Discussion. The main modifiable cardiovascular risk factors identified were alcohol consumption and a sedentary lifestyle; there was no statistically significant association between modifiable cardiovascular risk factors with cardiovascular capacity; but cardiovascular capacity has a statistically significant relationship with the level of physical activity. |
