ABSTRACT
Cardiovascular diseases are one of the main causes of death and disability in developed countries and it is currently increasing in developing countries too. Given that there are scarce cohort studies in -Latin America regarding cardiovascular risk factors, particularly in young population groups, the purpose of the this study was to follow up the behaviour of cardiovascular variables during a period of three and a half years. The study was conducted in a university student population ages 18 to 25 years old. Methodology. A prospective cohort study of 73 university students from Mexico City was performed. A self-assessment questionnaire was used to obtain demographic characteristics and cardiovascular risk factors. Anthropometric, clinical, and biochemical variables were measured every three months. In addition, weight, height, Body Mass Index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), percentage body fat, and blood pressure were measured. From blood samples, cholesterol, triglycerides, High Density Lipoproteins and glucose were measured. Low Density Lipoproteins were calculated using the Friedewald formula. Paired Student’s t-tests were performed in order to compare means and cases were expressed in graphical formats for lipid results. Results. Only 35 women and 15 men completed the three and a half years follow up. Of this total, 70% of students had diabetes background, 38% had hypertension, 12% had smoked and 58% had drank alcohol at least once a month. According to BMI measurements, 34% of women were overweight and 5.7% were obese compared with men where 27.7% were overweight. Men presented no cases of obesity. Conclusions. The behavior of cardiovascular variables over the three and a half- year period were different - between women and men. During this period, men increased significantly (0 .000) their weight, WC, BMI, and glucose levels. Women, only LDL levels increased significantly (0.18) while systole and diastole measures decrease significantly (0.23, 0.18). No subjects reported suffering from diabetes or hypertension during the period of study. The difference over the follow up did not have clinical relevance.REFERENCES
