BACKGROUND/AIMS: The lack of data regarding cardiovascular risk factors among university students in Hungary prompted us to undertake a cross-sectional pilot study in students at Semmelweis University, Budapest.
A total of 264 students (78 males, mean age 21.4+/-2.6 years, and 186 females, mean age 21.2+/-2.6 years) participated in the study. Anthropometric measures, blood pressure and serum lipid parameters were investigated. The relationship between body mass index and cardiovascular disease risk factors were analyzed.
The occurrence of overweight and abdominal obesity was significantly higher in the male group. The mean serum lipid values were within the acceptable range for both genders; however, in a significantly greater number of male than female students the HDL-cholesterol concentration (<1 mmol/l) was in the low range. High lipoprotein(a) values were seen in 33% of the male and 22.6% of the female students. In both groups of students the body mass index exhibited a positive correlation with waist circumference, total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, apolipoprotein B (p<0.01), and systolic and diastolic blood pressure. In the female students there was an inverse correlation between body mass index and HDL-cholesterol concentrations.
The anthropometric and lipid parameters of the student population studied were more favorable than those for an age-matched Hungarian youth population. Nevertheless, the higher occurrence of elevated blood pressure, overweight, abdominal obesity, lower HDL-cholesterol in the male group should be regarded as a warning sign, all the more since their diet was imbalanced and their knowledge in this field was incomplete. The results of our preliminary study point out the importance of teaching nutrition more efficiently, not only during university training but also at an earlier age.
背景/目的：匈牙利大学生心血管危险因素的数据匮乏，促使我们在布达佩斯的塞梅维什大学的学生中开展了一项横断面试点研究。
共有264名学生（78名男性，平均年龄21.4±2.6岁，186名女性，平均年龄21.2±2.6岁）参与了该研究。对人体测量指标、血压和血脂参数进行了调查。分析了体重指数与心血管疾病危险因素之间的关系。
男性组超重和腹型肥胖的发生率显著更高。男女两性的平均血脂值均在可接受范围内；然而，高密度脂蛋白胆固醇浓度（<1 mmol/l）处于低范围的男学生数量明显多于女学生。33%的男学生和22.6%的女学生出现高脂蛋白(a)值。在两组学生中，体重指数与腰围、总胆固醇、低密度脂蛋白胆固醇、载脂蛋白B（p<0.01）以及收缩压和舒张压均呈正相关。在女学生中，体重指数与高密度脂蛋白胆固醇浓度呈负相关。
所研究的学生群体的人体测量和血脂参数比年龄匹配的匈牙利青年人群更有利。然而，男性组中较高的高血压、超重、腹型肥胖、较低的高密度脂蛋白胆固醇发生率应被视为一个警示信号，尤其是因为他们的饮食不均衡且在该领域的知识不完整。我们初步研究的结果指出了更有效地教授营养知识的重要性，不仅在大学培训期间，而且在更早的年龄阶段。
