Abstract

Cardiovascular risk factors and associated factors may together add to the development of cardiovascular diseases. Objective: The frequency of cardiovascular risk factors and associated factors in adolescents was analyzed. Method: Cross-sectional study with high school students from the city of Teresina (PI), with a sample of 251 adolescents with a mean age of 16.2 ± 0.76 years. Lifestyle information, anthropometric and clinical data were obtained. Results: Adolescents presented prevalence of excessive daytime sleepiness (88%), physically inactive (38.2%), prehypertensive (14.7%) SBP and (27.1%) DBP. Regarding body mass index, females presented higher indices, but for waist and neck circumference, males presented higher indices (p <0.05). Conclusion: The presence and positive associations between risk factors that may contribute to the development of cardiovascular diseases serve as indicators for preventive measures to be taken.
