Abstract
The article presents data on the frequency of risk factors for cardiovascular diseases in adolescents. A statistical analysis was also conducted to determine the correlations between the risk factors when an individual has multiple risk factors. The following risk factors for cardiovascular diseases, already occurring frequently in adolescence, were evaluated: high blood pressure, overweight, elevated cholesterol levels, carbohydrate metabolism disorders, low physical activity, eating disorders, and stress perception. A total of 712 adolescents aged 15 –16 years were examined, including 360 girls and 352 boys, residing in the city of Yakutsk, Sakha Republic (Yakutia). The study revealed that among adolescents, low physical activity showed the highest frequency among the risk factors, followed by others in descending order: restrictive eating behavior, high cholesterol and glucose levels, overweight and obesity, and high stress perception. The differences found were based on gender, with boys being more susceptible to obesity. Correlation analyses using Spearman’s (rs) and Pearson’s (rp) coefficients and Pearson’s chi-square test were used to identify relationships between risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. The analysis showed that high blood pressure is associated with adolescents who have high body mass index. Gender-based analysis showed that girls are more prone to arterial pressure disorders and elevated cholesterol and glucose levels.
