It is also acknowledged that the epidemiological field nee…
Overweight and obesity in relation to cardiovascular disease risk factors among medical students in Crete, Greece
A substantial proportion of Greek medical students were overweight or obese, obesity status being related to the presence of hypertension and dyslipidaemia. Simple anthropometric indices can be used to identify these CVD risk factors. Our results underscore the need to implement health promotion programmes and perform large-scale epidemiological studies within the general Greek young adult population
