Overview

Cross-sectional analysis reveals high prevalence of modifiable risk factors among medical students, suggesting urgent health interventions.

Key Points

  • A significant 58.8% of medical students had at least one modifiable cardiovascular risk factor.
  • The most prevalent risk factors included obesity (49.8%) and unhealthy dietary habits (42.1%).
  • Sociodemographic factors such as age and ethnicity were significant predictors of cardiovascular risk.
  • Clustering of risk factors was observed in 23.5% of participants, highlighting an urgent need for preventive measures.
