Background: The present scenario indicates that NCD-related diseases are on the rise among young people. Once the behavioural patterns of an individual are established, it often persists throughout life and is hard to change. Research has documented that adolescence is the appropriate time period for appropriate intervention. The aim of the study was toassess the prevalence of various risk factors of hypertension, coronary artery disease and diabetes among the medical students.Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted among the medical college students of Annapoorna Medical College Hospital for a period of one year. A total of 406 students had participated in the study. A semi-structured and pilot tested questionnaire was used to collect the personal and demographic details of the students. Measurements such as BMI and blood pressure were recorded. Biochemical measurements such as fasting blood sugar and lipid parameters were measured. Results: A total of 38 (17.9%) male students and 6 (3%) female students are at risk of developing diabetes, hypertension or CAD at a very early age as per their clinical and biochemical reports. Conclusions: Promotion of supportive environment for strengthening student-based approaches and strategic delivery of health education is essential to target the risk behaviours among our future doctors.

Aims: Coronary artery disease is a devastating disease precisely because an otherwise healthy person in the prime of life may die or become disabled without warning. The objectives were to study the clinical profile, risk factors prevalence, angiographic distribution and severity of coronary artery stenosis in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients admitted in Cardiology Department of Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka.Materials and Methods: A total of 800 patients of ACS were analyzed for various risk factors, angiographic patterns and severity of coronary artery disease at DMCH, Dhaka, Bangladesh.Results: Mean age of presentation was 51.27±8.80 years. Majority were male 628 (78.5%) and rest were females (21.5%). Most patients had ST elevated myocardial infarction (STEMI) 509 (63.6%) followed by non-STEMI (NSTEMI) 207 (25.9%) and Unstable Angina (UA) 84 (10.5%). Risk factors: smoking was present in 388 (48.5%), hypertension in 289 (36.13%), diabetes in 235 (29.38%), dyslipidaemia in 169 (21.13%) and obesity in 356 (44.5%) patients. Singlevessel disease was present in 30.32% patients, Doublevessel disease was present in 23.23% patients and Triple vessel disease was present in 27.15% patients.Conclusion: STEMI was the most common presentation. ACS occurred earlier in comparison to Western population. Smoking was most prevalent risk factor. Diabetic patients had more multivessel disease.Bangladesh Heart Journal 2018; 33(1) : 10-15

ABSTRACT Objectives: to identify and discuss the main risk factors for coronary artery disease, observed in nursing students. Methods: an observational and cross-sectional study conducted with nursing students at a public college in Niterói, RJ. Data collection involved instruments validated for use in Brazil. PROCAM Quick Check score was used to estimate cardiovascular risk. Results: of the 110 students, 88 (80%) were female, with a mean age of 22.03±3.63 years. The most relevant cardiovascular risk factors were alcohol consumption 62 (56.4%), family history of coronary artery disease 35 (31.8%), poor eating habits (49.5%) and stress, whose domain “Professional training” received the highest mean, with 11.62 ± 3.42 points. Conclusions: the most frequent risk factors in nursing students are stress, inadequate nutrition and risky consumption of alcoholic beverages. These present a low risk for coronary artery disease through PROCAM Quick Check score.

Background: It is well known that less than 1% of the population achieves ideal cardiovascular health as well as 65% of patients do not have their conventional risk biomarkers under control. The military service has its own  particularities that may contribute to the cardiovascular risk . Methods: In order to define the preventive strategy goals, we analyzed the prevalence of traditional cardiovascular risk factors for coronary artery disease and elevated fibrinogen among active military personnel in Republic of Serbia.   Results: The cross-sectional study included 738 individuals older than 20 years, mostly between 31 and 40 years old. The mean value of SBP for the whole group was 122.39±9.42 mmHg, and for the DBP 79.94±6.56 mmHg. Among active military personnel 72.7% (533), had prehypertension and 13.8% (101) was hypertensive. Both body mass and BMI index among the observed age subgroups were found to increase with the age of the patients, as well as cholesterol values. HDL cholesterol values ​​also differed statistically significantly between age subgroups, with the proportion of individuals with HDL less than 1.5 mmol / L in all subgroups was about 85%, the only in the 41-50 age group was lower, 76.4%. LDL cholesterol, as well as the proportion of individuals who had LDL ≥3.5, increases with the age of patients, and an identical trend was recorded with triglycerides. With aging, fibrinogen levels increased. Conclusions: Those findings considering cardio and cerebrovascular risk factors would help to create the new approach for primary prevention for these categories of individuals.
