Description
Objectives: to determine the level of sedentary behavior, alcohol and cigarette consumption of the first semester students of Environmental and Sanitary Engineering and Sports Training of the Autonomous University Corporation of Cauca in the second academic period of 2017. Materials and Methods: descriptive-cross-sectional study with a correlational phase; sample of 116 students. The SPSS v.23.0 program was used in the data analysis. Descriptive and correlational statistics were applied using Pearson’s Chi2. Results: 56.9% of students were sedentary, and there was an association of the level of sedentary lifestyle with sex (p = 0.000), alcohol consumption (p = 0.013) and cardiovascular risk factor (p = 0.000). Conclusions: this study determined that sedentary levels of the population under study are high and they are associated with health risk factors such as alcohol consumption and cardiovascular risk.
