ABSTRACT
Cardiovascular disease is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality associated with obesity. The BMI offers useful information that allows the overall assessment of adiposity, while waist circumference (CC) and waist / height index (ICE) assess abdominal adiposity as predictors of cardiovascular risk. In order to determine cardiovascular risk in university students, a cross-sectional descriptive study of 433 regular students (161 men and 272 women), between 18 and 40 years of age of the 2018 academic period of the faculties of Health Sciences, was carried out. Agronomic Engineering, Administrative and Economic Sciences. Humanistic and Social Sciences of the Technical University of Manabí, Ecuador. The methodology used was the anthropometric evaluation: weight, height, BMI (WHO 2015), CC (WHO, 2000), ICE (Aswell, 2012) and IMC-CC (ATP III, 2001). Through a simple random sampling. Analysis: Chi-square, Pearson correlation. Statistical Program (SPSS 23). The results show: men = age: 21.3 ± 3.3 years; BMI: 24.8 ± 4.4 kg / m2; CC: 83.9 ± 11.2 cm and ICE: 0.49 ± 0.06. In women: age: 21.3 ± 3.4 years; BMI: 23.5 ± 4.8 kg / m2, CC: 76.2 ± 10.0 cm (p = 0.000) and ICE: 0.47 ± 0.06 (p = 0.002); The nutritional status according to BMI: men: Normal: 44.7%; overweight: 21%; obesity: 10.6% and deficit: 7.8% .In women: Normal: 58.8%; overweight: 37.3%; obesity: 9.6% and deficit: 10.7% (p = 0.013); CVR = Men 46% and women 33.8% (p = 0.012). BMI-CC = Men 55.9% presented CVR, distributed increased risk: 29.8%, high: 15.5%, very high: 8.7% and 1.9% extremely high; in women 55.9% increased risk = 22.1%, high: 5.1%, very high: 8.5% and 4 1.5% extremely high (p = 0.002). It is concluded that this group of university students presents a high risk for the development of abdominal obesity as a cardiovascular risk factor.REFERENCES
