Resumen
Introduction: According to the World Health Organization, overweight and obesity occur due to an abnormal
or excessive accumulation of body fat that is harmful to health. During childhood and adolescence, risk factors such as
dyslipidemia or obesity are detected, the maintenance of which in the adult stage has been verified, indicating that
detection should be started as early as possible. It is necessary to carry out an anthropometric <- nutritional evaluation to
detect a deficit or excess weight in time. A study on the topic of chronic non-communicable diseases in Colombia indicated
that in 2014 more than 100,000 people died with ischemic and hemorrhagic cerebrovascular diseases (CVDs), cancer, DM
and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), by being able to carry out early detections that will allow adequate
prevention of secondary complications. Methodology: An observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study was carried
out with a population - sample of 36 university students of both sexes. After informed consent, those who met the
inclusion criteria demanded by Bioimpedance included: weight, height, visceral fat, body fat, In addition to abdominal or
waist circumference, hip and lipid profile: total cholesterol (CT), triglycerides (TG), HDLc, VLDLc. LDLc. Results:
Overweight and obesity in the results of (BMI, Gf and FV)), found in young male and female sex with prevalence in the
male sex group, and hyperlipidemias mainly in the female sex studied. Conclusion: High prevalence of CVD risk factors
such as overweight, obesity, and hyperlipidemia in the female sex group.
