Abstract:
Background: Since atherosclerotic pathology is getting younger, it is necessary to study possible relationship of main risk factors (RF) with signs of premature aging of arterial wall at stage of absence of any clinical manifestations. Purpose: To evaluate some features of metabolic status of young people taking into account their belonging to quartile groups formed by indicator of vascular stiffness. Material and methods: It was evaluated profile of major RF from 224 students in the University preventive project. The device VaSera 1500 (Fukuda Denshi, Japan) was used, which allows to estimate Cardio-Angle Vascular Index (CAVI). The device also gives conclusion about vascular age of the subjects, which allows to identify cases of early vascular aging or EVA syndrome. The groups were formed by quartiles of CAVI. Data obtained were processed using the software package Statistica 10.0 (StatSoft Inc, USA). Results: It was found that among medical students signs of EVA syndrome occur in 9,9% (8 of 81) of boys and 9,3% (15 of 162) of girls. Individuals who have vascular age, on contrary, below passport among young men was 48,2% (39 of 81) and among girls was 47,5% (77 of 162). Among young men body mass index (BMI) from first to fourth quartile CAVI group was 26,3±0,5; 24,5±0,6; 23,6±1,0 and 21.3±0.6 kg/m2 and among girls - 22,1±0,57; 21,8±0,57; 20,9±0,4 and 21.05±0.5 kg/m2. The prevalence of overweight among boys in these groups varied as follows: 72% (18 of 25), 41,2% (7 of 17), 25% (5 of 20) and 10,5% (2 of 19) and among girls 14% (7 of 47), 10% (4 of 40), 8% (3 of 37) and 10,5% (4 of 38). Among young men the highest values of total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoproteins (LDL) and triglycerides (TG) were found in the first group, although the differences between the extreme groups did not reach a reliable level. Among girls this trend is also observed, but it is less pronounced. Conclusion: Among medical students, one in ten is a carrier of EVA syndrome. It was found that at a young age interquartile increase in CAVI is combined with decrease in BMI, as well as with a decrease in TC, LDL and TG. This trend is particularly evident among young men. These data should be used in formation of programs of group preventive measures among young people based on the results of mass angiological screening.
