ABSTRACT

Introduction: Hypertension is a major health problem worldwide. Prehypertension is a category that has been little studied in young adults.
Objective: To determine the factors associated with prehypertension in young adults between 20-25 years of age.
Method: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in a universe consisting of 257 second-year medical students. A total of 134 young adults, between 20-25 years of age, were selected by simple random sampling in the academic year 2009-2010.
Results: The prevalence of prehypertension was 27.6 %. Males (51.5 %) and white skin subjects (59.7 %) were the most affected. Home environment, a personal history of low birth weight (OR=2.3; p=0.179) and gestational age less than 37 weeks (OR= 2.5; p=0.187) did not influence the possibility of having prehipertensives figures in the subjects of this sample.
Conclusions: The high body mass index (OR=34.1; p‹0.001), family history of hypertension (OR=12, p‹0.01) and family obesity (χ2=11.19, p=0.001) were the factors most strongly associated with prehypertension in these young people.
