Risk factors for the development of hypertension related to nutrition habits in students of the University of Belgrade
Faktori rizika za razvoj hipertenzije u vezi sa navikama u ishrani studenata Univerziteta u Beogradu
Abstract
The aim of the study was to determine the presence of risk factors for developing hypertension in the University of Belgrade student population whose faculties do not provide the opportunity to learn about these factors. A cross-sectional study was conducted during November and December 2015 at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, the Faculty of Electric Engineering and the Faculty of Law. The respondents filled in a questionnaire, which was approved by the Ethics Committee for bio-medical research from the Faculty of Pharmacy. The study included 487 students. 56.7% were male students. Most of the respondents studied Law (210), followed by Mechanical Engineering (168) and Electrical Engineering (109). 75.8% of respondents consumed salty snacks, while 34.5% of them changed their habits of consuming snacks during the examination period. Fish was consumed less than once a week by 39.8% of the respondents, whereas 19.9% of them consumed candies every day. 63.9% consumed fast food. Energy... drinks were not consumed by the majority (52.2%), while 22.4% only consumed them before an exam. The research results indicated the presence of reversible risk factors in the examined student population. In order to prevent the development of hypertension in the elderly population and reduce the number of risk factors present, it is necessary to develop educational programs for proper diet and adequate intake of food groups.
Cilj studije bio je utvrđivanje zastupljenosti faktora rizika za razvoj hipertenzije u vezi sa ishranom u populaciji studenata Univerziteta u Beogradu. Ispitivan je unos soli i navike u ishrani kao reverzibilni faktori rizika. Sprovedena je anketna studija preseka sa namenski kreiranim upitnikom tokom novembra i decembra 2015. godine na Mašinskom, Pravnom i Elektrotehničkom fakultetu Univerziteta u Beogradu, koji u okviru studijskog programa ne uče studente o ovim faktorima. U istraživanju je učestvovalo 487 studenata, najviše sa Pravnog fakulteta (210), zatim sa Mašinskog (168) i najmanje sa Elektrotehničkog fakulteta (109). Malo više je bilo studenata muškog pola (56,7%). Slane grickalice konzumira 75,8% ispitanika, a kod 34,5% ispitanika navike u konzumiranju grickalica se menjaju tokom ispitnog roka. Ribu manje od jednom nedeljno uzima čak 39,8% ispitanika, a 19,9% ispitanika svakodnevno konzumira slatkiše. Više od polovine ispitanika (63,9%) konzumira brzu hranu. Energetska pića u...glavnom ne konzumiraju (52,2%), a 22,4% konzumira samo pred ispit. Rezultati istraživanja ukazuju na zastupljenost reverzibilnih faktora rizika kod ispitivane studentske populacije. Kako bi se sprečio razvoj hipertenzije u starijem životnom dobu i smanjio broj prisutnih faktora rizika neophodno je razvijanje edukativnih programa o pravilnoj ishrani i adekvatnom unosu namirnica.
