Abstract

 

Measurement of blood pressure and risk factors associated with high blood pressure in the students of la Universidad de Manizales, Colombia, in 2009Introduction: High blood pressure is defined as an increase in blood pressure, with elevations on systolic and diastolic blood pressures. The purpose of the present study was to determine the blood pressure values and the present of some risk factors for hypertension in the student population of the Universi-dad de Manizales. Materials and Methods: Of the 2916 daytime students at the University of Manizales (Caldas, Colombia) in the first semester of 2009, 258 students were chosen to participate. The age range was between 16 and 41 years with an average of 20 years. A previously designed survey was used in order to collect information about risk factors for high blood pressure, and data such as blood pressure, height, weight, social stratum and other risk factors. Results: A frequency of 45,7% of blood pressure at the level of pre-hypertension was found, and 5% of at the level of type 1 HBP, this didn’t mean that these students actually suffered of HBP. Abdominal obesity was found in 27,1% and overweight in 18,6%. The results didn’t show statistic significance in relation to the risk factors of HBP. A significant relation was determined between the faculty and the levels of blood pressure. Conclusions. By stating that this population is exposed to one or more risk factors such as alcohol consumption, tabaquism, physical inactivity, and levels of pre-hypertension and hypertension grade 1; arises the necessity of promoting educational programs aimed at changing unhealthy habits, and possibly establish a program of prevention and health promotion in order to improve academic performance, and improve the life expectancy of students.

Key Words: Hypertension. Risk factors. Young adult.
