ABSTRACT

Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVD’s) are said to be chronic or acute disorders of the heart and blood vessels and it include coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, peripheral artery disease, rheumatic heart disease, congenital heart disease, deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. Atherogenic index of plasma (AIP), dyslipidaemia and anthropometric indices has been said to be a strong marker that predicts the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Aim: To evaluate some cardiovascular risk factors among students of Faculty of Health Science and Technology Ebonyi State University, Nigeria. Materials and Methods: The study recruited 80 participants (males 28 (35%) and females 52 (65%)) with mean age 24.36±5.37 years old. The mean age for the male was 24.64±5.41 years, while the mean age for the female was 24.21±5.39 years. Results: It was observed that there was a significant difference between sexes for the following variables: TG (P=0.052), HDL-cholesterol (P=0.053), WHR (P=0.003), and AIP (P=0.003) and no significant difference between sexes for the following variables: Age (P=0.734), TC (P=0.339) and LDL-c (P=0.540). WHR showed moderate significant correlation with age while AIP was more strongly correlated with TG and HDL-c. WHR showed moderate significant correlation with age in the female participants but there was no significant correlation between WHR with age and lipid profile in the males. AIP showed strong significant correlation with TG in the males whereas it showed moderate significant correlation with age, and strong significant correlation with TG and HDL-c in females. Conclusion: This study support the evidences that lipid ratios could be used for identifying individual at higher risk of cardiovascular disease in the clinical practices especially, when the absolute values of lipid profile seem abnormal or higher.
Keywords: Cardiovascular Diseases, Atherogenic Index, Lipid profile, Cholesterol.
