ABSTRACT
Introduction:
Inappropriate nutrition, arterial hypertension, excessive body weight and improper levels of biochemical blood indices among the young population may exert a considerable influence on the development of cardiovascular diseases in adulthood. Early detection and counteracting the occurrence of risk factors may radically decrease the morbidity rate in the future.
Objective:
The objective of the study was to discover whether there occur differences in diet, lipid profile and blood pressure, and to reveal whether the studied factors may lead to the development of cardiovascular diseases in students of the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport at the University of Physical Education in Biala Podlaska, who differed with respect to the body mass index (BMI).
Material and Methods:
The study included 340 students. Somatic and nutritional characteristics were assessed with the use of commonly adopted methods. Standard measurements of blood pressure were made. Standard measurements of arterial blood pressure were performed, and levels of total cholesterol (TC) and triglycerides (TG) in blood serum determined. Anthropometric, biomechanical and nutritional parameters were analysed and blood pressure was measured in the groups of subjects that differed in BMI.
Results:
It was found that an increase in the BMI was accompanied by a decrease in energy, fat and protein intake. Fat intake was significantly lower (p≤0.05) in overweight males than in males who had a normal body weight (80.1±36.3 kcal•d-1 vs. 94.7±35.9 kcal•d-1). An increase in body weight, however, did not bring about any significant changes in the proportion of subjects whose mean values of TC and TG levels in blood serum exceeded threshold values (TC>190mg/dl and TG>150mg/dl), but this led to a significant increase in the percentage of women examined (G=6.04; p≤0.05) with prehypertension.
Conclusions:
The study contributed to the expansion of knowledge regarding relations between BMI and risk factors of cardiovascular diseases. It was confirmed that body weight had a significant effect on changes in some of the risk factors of cardiovascular diseases.
