| Popis: | India faces an epidemic of cardiovascular disease (CVD). This study sought the effect of family history of CVD and/or its risk factors (CVD-risk) on the presence of risk factors for CVD, in a healthy young college population.Blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR), anthropometric variables, fasting blood sugar and lipid fractions were measured in two hundred healthy individuals (163 men and 37 women), aged 17-22 years. Data were analysed to elicit effect of CVD-risk on measured parameters.All but one subject, had family history of a CVD-risk. Men with family history of coronary heart disease had higher diastolic BP (79.24 ± 7.7 vs 75.99 ± 7.49 mmHg, p = 0.007) and triglycerides (118.66 ± 57.98 vs 85.82 ± 50.89 mg/dL, p 0.0001) compared with those without similar family history. Men with family history of hypertension (HTN) had higher diastolic BP (78.75 ± 7.15 vs 75.84 ± 8.37 mmHg, p = 0.019) and low-density lipoprotein (86.24 ± 25.38 vs 78.21 ± 17.93 mg/dL, p = 0.019), as well as lower high-density lipoprotein (50.27 ± 8.4 vs 53.96 ± 10.38 mg/dL, p = 0.019). Women with family history of diabetes mellitus had lower high-density lipoproteins (49.89 ± 8.05 vs 59.53 ± 11.44, p = 0.006). Family history of dyslipidaemia was associated with significantly higher triglycerides (146.14 ± 46.19 vs 98.44 ± 56.19 mg/dL, p = 0.002) in men and in subjects across sex. HDL was contrarily higher, in women with family history of cerebrovascular accident/HTN and men with family history of coronary heart disease/HTN. The proportion of pre-HTN, overweight/obese, impaired fasting glucose and borderline high triglycerides was 88.3%, 36.8%, 11% and 38.7% in men and 64.9%, 37.8%, 18.9% and 48.7% in female subjects.Young adults with a family history of CVD-risk already have an incomplete/atypical CVD risk profile. |
