Abstract

Objective: To evaluate cardiovascular health (CVH) in university workers at a higher education institution in relation to other health-related factors. Methods: Cross-sectional study consisting of 121 workers. CVH was assessed by seven measures [food consumption, physical activity level (PAL), smoking, total cholesterol, blood glucose, systemic blood pressure (BP), and body mass index (BMI)]. The independent variables waist circumference (WC), waist-hip ratio (WHR), HDL-c, LDL-c, triglycerides, maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max), workload, and health related quality of life (HRQoL) were assessed. Results: Overall, 25% of the sample had poor CVH. The ideal CVH group had lower WC (p<0.001) and WHR (p<0.001), and higher VO2max (p=0.041). The physical component score was higher in the groups with intermediate (p=0.036) and ideal (p=0.002) CVH. Daily workload was higher in the poor CVH group (p=0.05). CVH score was directly related to VO2max (p=0.001) and physical component (p=0.020), and inversely related to WC (p<0.001), WHR (p<0.001), LDL-c (p<0.001), and triglycerides (p< 0.001). Conclusion: Implementation of educational practices, and promotion of physical activity, adequate dietary intake, and other lifestyle habits can help to improve CVH and the physical component of HRQoL.
心血管健康与大学生人体测量指标、心肺功能和生活质量的关系
目的评估某高等院校大学生的心血管健康(CVH)与其他健康相关因素的关系。方法:横断面研究横断面研究,包括 121 名工作人员。心血管健康通过七项测量指标[食物摄入量、体力活动水平(PAL)、吸烟、总胆固醇、血糖、全身血压(BP)和体重指数(BMI)]进行评估。对自变量腰围(WC)、腰臀比(WHR)、高密度脂蛋白胆固醇(HDL-c)、低密度脂蛋白胆固醇(LDL-c)、甘油三酯、最大耗氧量(VO2max)、工作量和与健康相关的生活质量(HRQoL)进行了评估。结果显示总体而言,25% 的样本具有较差的 CVH。理想 CVH 组的 WC(p<0.001)和 WHR(p<0.001)较低,VO2max(p=0.041)较高。中等 CVH 组(p=0.036)和理想 CVH 组(p=0.002)的体能成分得分更高。CVH 较差组的每日工作量更高(p=0.05)。CVH 分值与最大氧饱和度(p=0.001)和体能成分(p=0.020)直接相关,与腹围(p<0.001)、胸围(p<0.001)、低密度脂蛋白胆固醇(p<0.001)和甘油三酯(p<0.001)成反比。结论实施教育实践、推广体育锻炼、充足的饮食摄入和其他生活习惯有助于改善心血管健康和 HRQoL 中的身体健康部分。
