TLDR
In conclusion, cardiovascular risk factors are a prevalent health issue among students in the city of Londrina and are more frequent among boys than girls.Abstract:
The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors in adolescents and to verify its association with age and gender. 644 high school students from public schools in the city of Londrina, Parana State, Brazil, participated in the study. A two-step sampling process was used. Behavioral risk factors (physical inactivity, inadequate consumption of fruits and vegetables, and smoking) and biological risk factors (overweight and high blood pressure) were investigated. Nearly 90% of adolescents showed at least one risk factor. Inadequate consumption of fruits (56.7%) and vegetables (43.9%) and physical inactivity (39.2%) were the most prevalent risk factors. Prevalence rates for high blood pressure and overweight were 18.6 and 12.7%, respectively. Cardiovascular risk factors were more frequent among boys (PR = 1.20; 95%CI = 1.01-1.42). In conclusion, cardiovascular risk factors are a prevalent health issue among students in the city of Londrina.read more

Physical activity in Brazil: a systematic review
TL;DR: The purpose of this study was to describe the prevalence of physical activity (or inactivity) in the Brazilian population, and the need for standardization of instruments, criteria, and nomenclature in epidemiological studies on physical activity was highlighted.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that lifestyle-related risk factors tend to cluster among adolescents, and identifying subgroups at greater risk of simultaneously engaging in multiple risk behaviors may aid in the planning of preventive strategies.

Prevalence of alcohol and tobacco use among Brazilian adolescents: a systematic review
TL;DR: The results suggest that consumption of alcohol and tobacco among adolescents has reached alarming prevalences in various localities in Brazil and public policies aimed towards reducing alcohol and Tobacco use among Brazilians over the medium and long terms may direct young people and the subgroups at higher risk towards such behavior.
