Abstract
Determinar la asociación entre el nivel de conocimiento sobre factores de riesgo cardiovascular (FRCV) y comportamientos de la salud (CS) entre estudiantes universitarios del programa de estudios de “Medicina”, “Farmacia y Bioquímica” y “Enfermería”, Trujillo, 2024.
Materiales y métodos: Estudio correlacional de corte transversal que incluyó 255 estudiantes universitarios. Se aplicaron instrumentos validados y se realizaron análisis estadísticos a través de la prueba exacta de Fisher y coeficiente de Spearman.
Resultados: Se encontró un 95.7% de estudiantes con conocimiento adecuado sobre FRCV, puntajes mayores en el sexo masculino (96.4%) y estudiantes con antecedentes familiares de enfermedades cardiovasculares (ECV) que representó el 98.8% de la población (p = 0.011). Predominó un nivel moderado de CS (74.5%), solo 3,5% demostró un nivel bueno. Se demostró una asociación significativamente relevante entre el conocimiento sobre FRCV y CS (p =0.009). Un 87.5% obtuvieron conocimientos adecuados y mostraron un comportamiento deficiente.
Conclusiones: Existe asociación significativa entre el nivel de conocimiento sobre FRCV y CS entre estudiantes universitarios del programa de estudios de “Medicina”, “Farmacia y Bioquímica” y “Enfermería”.

Abstract Determine the association between the level of knowledge about cardiovascular risk factors (FRCV) and health behaviors (CS) among university students of the "Medicine", "Pharmacy and Biochemistry" and "Nursing" study program, Trujillo, 2024. Materials and methods: Cross-sectional correlational study that included 255 university students. Validated instruments were applied and statistical analyzes were performed through Fisher's exact test and Spearman coefficient. Results: 95.7% of students were found with adequate knowledge about CVRF, higher scores in males (96.4%) and students with a family history of cardiovascular diseases (ECV) which represented 98.8% of the population (p = 0.011). A moderate level of CS predominated (74.5%), only 3.5% demonstrated a good level. A significantly relevant association was demonstrated between knowledge about FRCV and CS (p =0.009). 87.5% obtained adequate knowledge and showed poor behavior. Conclusions: There is a significant association between the level of knowledge about FRCV and CS among university students of the "Medicine", "Pharmacy and Biochemistry" and "Nursing" study programs.
