Resumo: ObjectiveThis study aimed to describe the proportion of risk factors for cardiovascular diseases, emphasizing nutritional factors, among health students from a public university in Recife, Brazil. MethodsTwo hundred and fifty students were assessed through a questionnaire that addressed biosocial aspects, lifestyle data, family history for cardiovascular diseases, anthropometric variables and food consumption determined by the 24-hour recall. ResultsThe following rates were found for the assessed risk factors: smoking (2.8%), inactivity (41.7%), overweight (35.5% among men and 5.3% among women, p<0,01), family history of hypertension (35.5%), diabetes (11.3%), obesity (20.2%) and death of close relatives before age 50 due to cardiovascular diseases (14.8%). Regarding food consumption, a high percentage of individuals had inappropriate energy intake and a low percentage had inappropriate protein and carbohydrate intakes. Regarding the fat profile of the diet, more than 40.0% of the students consumed more cholesterol than the recommended levels and 17.9% of the menand 44.8% of the women consumed high amounts of saturated fat (p<0.01). The consumption of linoleic acid and monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids was inadequate in more than 95% of the individuals under study. ConclusionThe high rates of risk factors are a warning sign, given the young age of the studied population, and show the need to insist on measures to prevent primary cardiovascular disease.

MétodosForam avaliados 250 estudantes por um questionário que abordou aspectos biossociais, dados sobre estilo de vida, história familiar para doenças cardiovasculares, variáveis antropométricas e consumo alimentar, avaliado pelo Recordatório de 24horas. ResultadosFoi encontrada a seguinte freqüência para os fatores de risco analisados: tabagismo (2,8%), sedentarismo (41,7%), excesso de peso (35,5% e 5,3% nos sexos masculino e feminino, respectivamente p<0,01), história familiar de hipertensão (35,5%), diabetes (11,3%) e obesidade (20,2%), morte antes dos 50 anos por doenças cardiovasculares nos familiares diretos (14,8%). Com relação ao consumo alimentar, observou-se um elevado percentual de inadequação no consumo de energia e um baixo percentual de inadequação no consumo de proteínas e carboidratos. Quanto ao perfil lipídico da dieta, mais de 40,0% dos estudantes apresentaram consumo de colesterol acima do recomendado e, em 17,9% dos homens e 44,8% das mulheres foi evidenciado um elevado consumo de gordura saturada (p<0,01). O consumo de ácido linoléico, ácido graxo monoinsaturado e poliinsaturado mostrou-se insuficiente em mais de 95,0% dos indivíduos estudados. ConclusãoA alta proporção de fatores de risco cardiovasculares representa uma advertência, dada a juventude da população considerada, e mostra a necessidade de insistir em medidas educativas e de promoção de condutas preventivas. Núcleo de Editoração – PUC-Campinas2023-08-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/article/view/9535Brazilian Journal of Nutrition; Vol. 22 No. 6 (2009): Revista de NutriçãoRevista de Nutrição; Vol. 22 Núm. 6 (2009): Revista de NutriçãoRevista de Nutrição; v. 22 n. 6 (2009): Revista de Nutrição1678-9865reponame:Revista de Nutriçãoinstname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)instacron:PUC_CAMPporhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/article/view/9535/6903Copyright (c) 2023 Marina de Moraes Vasconcelos PETRIBÚ, Poliana Coelho CABRAL, Ilma Kruze Grande de ARRUDAhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessde Moraes Vasconcelos PETRIBÚ, Marina Coelho CABRAL, Poliana Kruze Grande de ARRUDA, Ilma2023-08-31T18:57:35Zoai:ojs.periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br:article/9535Revistahttp://www.scielo.br/rnPRIhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/oai||sbi.submissionrn@puc-campinas.edu.br1678-98651415-5273opendoar:2023-08-31T18:57:35Revista de Nutrição - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)false
