Aim: To explore the prevalence of dyslipidemia and to determine specific anthropometric and physiologic features and their correlation with nutritional and other lifestyle habits of the student population from University of Rijeka, Croatia. Patients and methods: 38 women and 15 men participated in the study. At first, they fullfilled the questionaire about their nutritional and lifestyle habits. Blood levels of the glucose, total cholesterol and triglicerides, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, puls values and several anthropometric values were measured thereafter using The Accutrend® Plus cardiovascular screening analyser, fully automatic wrist cuff blood pressure monitor, and digital personal balance. The results were compared between sexes. Results: The mean values of biochemical and physiologic characteristics were in the normal range in both sexes. Nutritional and other lifestyle habits did not significantly differ between men and women. Unregular consumption of the fruits and vegetables was correlated with higher blood glucose and total cholesterol level in men and women, respectively (P1=0.01 and P2<0.01). In women, several anthropometric variables, such as lower percentage of body water and higher percentage of body fat, were correlated with the periodical consumption of alcohol (P < 0.001). In men, consumption of alcohol was associated with higher diastolic blood pressure. Anthropometric, biochemical and physiologic features showed moderate intercorrelation in both sexes (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Dyslipidemia, higher level of blood glucose, total cholesterol and blood pressure, that are known predictors of cardiovascular disease in later life, were not found in our student sample. However, biochemical, physiologic and anthropometric characteristics of the population of youger adults showed significant correlations with bad nutritional habits and consumption of alcohol.
