RESUMO
Background: Cardiovascular diseases are related to particular lifestyle patterns and the presence of cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF). Aim: To evaluate the presence of CVRF in students from Universidad Austral de Chile (UACh). Material and Methods: CVRF were evaluated in 385 university students aged 17 to 26years (63% women). Personal background, lifestyle, anthropometry, blood pressure, serum lipids and blood glucose were evaluated. Results: Eighty eight percent of evaluated students had sedentary habits, 19% had high LDL cholesterol levels, 40% had high blood pressure, 28% smoked, 29% were overweight or obese and 20% had some stress level. Conclusions: There is a high frequency of non-healthy lifestyles and cardiovascular risk factors in this sample of university students.

La Enfermedad Renal Crónica (ERC) afecta aproximadamente al 10 por ciento de la población adulta. OBJETIVO: Cuantificar factores de riesgo directos e indirectos que inciden en el desarrollo de ERC. PACIENTES Y MÉTODOS: Estudio epidemiológico analítico de corte transversal. En abril de 2010 respondieron una encuesta sobre Factores de riesgo renal (FRR) 164 alumnos de primer a tercer año de la carrera de Medicina de la Universidad Austral de Chile. Se consideraron factores de riesgo directo: Diabetes Mellitus (DM1), Hipertensión Arterial (HTA) y consumo de analgésicos en los encuestados y factores de riesgo indirecto: dislipidemia, sobrepeso u obesidad en los encuestados y DM2, HTA, sobrepeso u obesidad y dislipidemia en familiares de primer y segundo grado. Para el análisis de los resultados se utilizó Excel 8.0 y PASW-Statistic18. RESULTADOS: De los 164 alumnos, el 60,4 por ciento (n=99) fueron varones. Con respecto a los factores de riesgo, el 28 por ciento (n=50) se automedica al menos 1 vez a la semana algún tipo de analgésico, 32 por ciento(n=52) presentaban IMC>25 (IMC promedio en varones 24,03 y en mujeres 21,8). Del total, un 48 por ciento (n=78) posee antecedentes familiares de sobrepeso u obesidad, 52 por ciento (n=86) de HTA y 27 por ciento (n=44) DM2, existiendo una relación estadísticamente significativa (p<0.05) entre estos antecedentes y la presencia de estos mismos factores de riesgo en los encuestados. DISCUSIÓN: Un porcentaje importante del 50 por ciento de los estudiantes encuestados presenta potenciales factores de riesgo tanto directos como indirectos para desarrollar ERC.
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) affects approximately 10 percent of adult population. The detection of factors that could increase the risk of developing CKD in the adult life in young population, acquires special importance for the development of future interventions to anticipate this disease. OBJECTIVES: To quantify direct and indirect risk factors that could influence CKD's development. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Analytic, cross-sectional study. On April the instrument Factors of Renal Risk was applied to 164 students of first to third year of Medical School, Universidad Austral de Chile, Valdivia. They were considered direct risk factors Diabetes Mellitus (DM1), High Blood Pressure (HBP) and consumption of analgesics and factors of indirect risk were considered overweight or obesity and DM2, HBP, overweight or obesity in relatives of the first and second degree. For data analysis Excel8.0 and PASW-Statistic18 were used. RESULTS: Of 164 students, 60,4 percent (n=99) was males. With regard to the factors of risk, 28 percent (n=50) consumes some analgesics at least once a week, 32 percent (n=52) was presenting IMC> 25 (average IMC in males 24,03 and in women 21,8). 48 percent (n=78) possesses familiar case history of overweight or obesity, 52 percent (n=86) of HTA and 27 percent (n=44) DM2, existing a statistically significant relation (p <0.05) between these precedents and the factors presented before for same population. DISCUSSION: A not despicable percentage of the students present potential direct and indirect risk factors to develop CKD.
