The Relationship Between Lifestyle, Health Promotion Lifestyle Profile II And High Blood Pressure In University Students

SUMMARY

BACKGROUND: Identifying and controlling systemic arterial blood pressure is important in young people, and it is possible to reduce the frequency of systemic arterial hypertension by improving the lifestyle.AIM: The aim of the study is to assess the relationship between healthy lifestyle behaviors and systemic blood pressure in university students.MATERIALS: The study sample consisted of 200 university students from a state university in Edirne. Lifestyles and habits were evaluated with Health Promotion Lifestyle Profile II. Students’ blood pressure was measured from both arms twice.RESULTS: The mean HPLP-II score of those who frequently feel good was significantly higher than those who rarely feel good. The mean score of those who frequently wake up between 06:00-09:00 in the morning was statistically significantly higher than those who wake up outside these hours. Those who perform social or artistic activities during their leisure times had a mean scale score higher than those who don’t perform. Although there wasn’t a statistically significant difference according to smoking status, the mean score of non-smokers was higher than smokers. The mean scale scores were higher in frequent salt users than non-frequent users; participants with low saturated fatty acid intake had higher scores than those with high intake, and rare fast food consumers had higher scores than frequent consumers. The statistically significant difference between blood pressure values of females and males was due to higher blood pressure in male students. Those working in a part-time job had higher blood pressure values than those who weren’t working. Among the students whose body mass indexes could be evaluated, there were differences in blood pressure values.CONCLUSION: It has been observed in our study that health-related responsibilities and lifestyle behaviours increase with better leisure time activities, improved eating habits and a positive outlook on life. Turning youngs’ tendencies towards healthy lifestyle behaviours to habits can make them healthier, more collective and more productive regarding physical, social and psychological well-being.

Factor reumatoideo, anticuerpos antipéptidos citrulinados y actividad de la enfermedad en pacientes con artritis reumatoidea Factor reumatoideo, anticuerpos antipéptidos citrulinados y actividad de la enfermedad en pacientes con artritis reumatoideaIntroducción: la artritis reumatoidea es una enfermedad inflamatoria crónica y multisistémica de causa autoinmune.Los anticuerpos antipéptidos citrulinados constituyen una herramienta importante para el diagnóstico de esta enfermedad. Objetivo: determinar la relación de los anticuerpos factor reumatoideo y antipéptidos citrulinados de segunda y tercera  generación, con indicadores clínicos y serológicos de actividad de la enfermedad en pacientes con artritis reumatoidea establecida. Material y métodos: participaron 88 pacientes con artritis reumatoidea establecida y se determinaron la proteína C reactiva, la velocidad de sedimentación globular, el índice de actividad de la enfermedad basado en el conteo de 28 articulaciones (DAS 28). Los autoanticuerpos factor reumatoideo y antipéptidos citrulinados de segunda y tercera generación se cuantificaron mediante el ensayo de inmunoabsorción ligado a enzimas. Resultados: se observó asociación entre la positividad de proteína C reactiva y la presencia de todos los autoanticuerpos. El factor reumatoideo y los anticuerpos antipéptidos citrulinados mostraron correlación positiva con la velocidad de sedimentación globular y con el DAS 28. Solamente los anticuerpos antipéptidos citrulinados se asociaron con una actividad moderada o alta de la enfermedad. Conclusiones: los anticuerpos antipéptidos citrulinados de segunda y tercera generación tienen gran valor para la identificación de pacientes con un curso más severo de la enfermedad en la artritis reumatoidea establecida.Palabras clave: artritis reumatoidea, autoanticuerpos, factor reumatoideo, antipéptidos citrulinados, enfermedad autoinmune, indicadores clínicos, indicadores serológicos.ABSTRACTIntroduction: rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disease, multisystem and with autoimmune cause. Antibodies anti- citrullinated peptides are an important tool for the diagnosis of this disease. Objective: to determine the relationship of rheumatoid factor, anti-mutated citrullinated vimentin and anti-citrullinated peptides of second and third generation antibodies, with clinical and serological indicators of disease activity in patients with established rheumatoid arthritis. Material and methods: 88 patients with established rheumatoid arthritis participated in the study and C reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, disease activity score based on the count of 28 joints (DAS 28) and autoantibodies were measured.  Rheumatoid factor and anti-citrullinated peptides of second and third generation autoantibodies were quantified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results: association between C reactive protein and the presence of all autoantibodies was observed. Rheumatoid factor and anti-citrullinated peptides antibodies of second and third generation showed positive correlation with ESR and DAS 28. Only anti-citrullinated peptide antibodies were associated with a moderate or high disease activity. Conclusions: anti-citrullinated peptide antibodies of second and third generation are of great value for identifying patients with more severe disease course in established rheumatoid arthritis.Keys words: rheumatoid arthritis, autoantibodies, rheumatoid factor, anti- citrullinated peptides, autoimmune disease, clinical indicators, serological indicators.
