ABSTRACT
Objective:
to compare the prevalence of risk factors for cardiovascular diseases in university students by gender.Methodology:
a cross-sectional study conducted with fourth year undergraduates from eight courses at a publicuniversity in northwestern Paraná. Socioeconomic and lifestyle characteristics, blood pressure, nutritional status and waist circumference were evaluated. In the statistical analysis, the logistic regression was used.Results:
the 242 university students evaluated had a mean age of 22.46 years (± 1.72), the majority being female (73.97%) and white (72.7%). According to the BMI, 21.48% were overweight, more frequently among males. In multivariate logistic regression by sex, it was found that men presented greater chances for overweight (ORaj = 4.30, p = <0.001); smoking (OR a = 5.15, p = 0.016); (ORaj = 4.01, p = 0.012) and for the practice of physical activity (ORaj = 2.49, p = 0.006).Conclusion:
university students of the male and female sexes present differences in behavior regarding risk factors for cardiovascular diseases.RESUMO

De acordo com o IMC, 21,48% tinhamexcesso de peso, com maior frequência entre os do sexo masculino. Na regressão logística multivariada por sexo, constatou-se que homens apresentaram maiores chances para excesso de peso (ORaj=4,30; p=<0,001); tabagismo (ORaj=5,15; p=0,016); consumo de bebida alcoólica (ORaj=4,01; p=0,012) e para a prática de atividade física (ORaj=2,49; p=0,006).Conclusão:
