| description | The aim of this study is to characterize a sample of students from the Central University of Venezuela, according to their socioeconomic status, physical activity, psychobiological habits, family history and cardio-metabolic and anthropometric biomarkers to be used as indicators of risk for Chronic Non Communicable (NCCD). This is a descriptive and cross-sectional study; the sample was 152 students aged between 18 and 29 years. Socioeconomic data, physical activity, psycho-biological characteristics and family medical history were collected by questionnaire. The variables measured were weight, height and waist circumference. Body Mass Index (BMI) and waist-height index was calculated. Cardiometabolic markers were quantified by enzymatic methods. 22.1% of the sample was sedentary, with female predominance; 30.6% presented overweight, with more than half of men; 11.7% had abdominal obesity according to the criterion of waist circumference and 10.9% had abdominal obesity according to waist circumference and waist Index - height. The Glu, Col-T, LDL-C and Tg were altered by less than 8% of the sample, while HDL-C was low in 32.4% of the sample. In 17.6% of the sample the risk is high by the COL-T / HDL-C ratio. 22.1% of the sample was classified as sedentary; this fact, together with a significant prevalence of overweight and low HDL-C concentration, higher in men, represents a dangerous increase in risk factors for NCDs in this group. |
