This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing theresources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject andinvestigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source,and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed isfor the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator.The purpose of the study is to evaluate the prevalence of the metabolic syndrome in a college population. The metabolic syndrome is thought to be triggered by a combination of genetic and environmental factors such as increased caloric intake, and reduced levels of physical activity leading to increased Body Mass Index (BMI), diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. The college years are often associated with increased weight gain, and increased alcohol and tobacco use creating a potential risk for developing metabolic syndrome and subsequent cardiovascular sequelae. With the prevalence of the metabolic syndrome increasing in US adults, findings of the study could have significant implications for public health and early prevention.
