Аннотация
INTRODUCTION: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of death worldwide among adults. Traditionally, the disease has been considered as a condition affecting older adults. However, its risk factors (e.g., poor diet, sedentary behavior, inadequate sleep, and obesity) are increasingly being identified in younger populations. There is a need to increase the evidence of CVD risk factors in this population to further support preventive programs in this demographic.
OBJECTIVE(S): This study investigates the prevalence of CVD risk factors in young adult, college students.
DESIGN: Data was used from the American College Health Association's National College Health Assessment (ACHA-NCHA) II-C.
SAMPLE: The sample included data from 426,259 students, ages 18-25.
MEASUREMENTS: Data was reviewed on race, nutrition, physical activity, tobacco use, sleep, weight, and history of chronic disease. Descriptive statistics were utilized to examine the prevalence of CVD risk factors.
RESULTS: There was a notable prevalence of CVD risk factors, such as insufficient nutrition, obesity, insufficient physical activity, and inadequate sleep, among college students.
CONCLUSIONS: CVD-related risk factors are on the rise within this demographic. There is a pressing need for the expansion of public health initiatives aimed at enhancing CVD awareness and prevention among college students.
