Abstract
In Bosnia and Herzegovina, about 50% of all deaths, in both sexes, occur in cardiovascular disease. According to statistics released by the Public Health Institute of the FBiH for 2009 and 2010 in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the most common cause of death is a stroke of cerebrovascular disease 10.2%, cardiomyopathy 8.9%, cardiac arrest 8.6%, acute myocardial infarction from the group of ischemic heart disease 7.9% and a minor percentage of the other cardiac disease. The study was conducted with 60 students in their last year of high school, aged 17-19 years, of which are 17 boys and 43 girls.To assess the risk factors of respondents their anamnestic data were taken as their anthropometric measurements were carried out (height, weight, waist circumference). Body composition, blood pressure measurements and biochemical parameters (cholesterol, triglycerides and blood sugar fasting and postprandial) were analyzed. Their level of physical activity, diet, consumation of alcohol cigarettes and stress as a risk factor were estimated on the basis of a questionnaire. The results of this study showed the existence of risk factors (age, gender, elevated blood sugar, elevated blood lipids, increased BMI with the volume of the waist, inadequate nutrition, and physical inactivity) with high school students that increases the risk for the development of the cardiovascular disease. Results of this study emphasized the need for preventive measures and setting the course of action to reduce risk factors for cardiovascular disease. The prevention will be focused on the prevention of disability and early death.
