dc.description.abstractHypercholesterolemia is a factor involved in the development of atherosclerosis, which is related to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, the two main causes of death in the world. The aim of the study was determined the prevalence of hypercholesterolemia in Pharmacy students from the Instituto Politécnico de Bragança (IPB) and described and analyze the risk factors associated. From a random sample of four classes of the course of Pharmacy from IPB, were selected for this study two years (1º and 4º years), with 32 students in each class. The descriptive, cross-sectional and quantitative study was carried out by application of a screening of cholesterol levels, and with a self-completion questionnaire. The data were subjected to statistical treatment through the program SPSS 16.0. This study found that the average of total cholesterol (TC) was 197.06 ± 43.542 mg/ dL. The men had lower levels of cholesterol (174.33 mg/ dL) than females (200.78 mg/ dL) indicating the sex has influence on the levels of cholesterol. Hypercholesterolemia was more prevalent at ages ≥ 20 years, with higher average for students attending the 4th year (203.53 mg/ dL) than those attending the 1st year (190.59 mg/ dL). Concerning food, only the consumption of sausages showed association with serum concentrations of TC. Aditionally, students who make meals at home have higher CT than those who make their meals elsewhere (200.49 and 183.62 mg/ dL, respectively), allowing to conclude that the lack of time for meals provides a power based on fast food, rich in cholesterol. The high levels of TC obtained in young students alert the need for control the cholesterol levels and also take action with regard to food and physical exercise.por
