Abstract
Young adults' cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are becoming a more common source of morbidity and mortality. Young adults have significant difficulties that may raise their risk of CVD, especially if they are enrolled in professional programmes in college. Adolescents should be made more aware of CVD risk factors because, in spite of screening requirements, they are frequently overlooked in the younger population. The importance of sleep as a gauge of health and its influence on cardiovascular risk factors are becoming more well acknowledged. In Sree Mookambika Institute of Medical Sciences, Kanyakumari, India, a cross‐sectional observational study was carried out among young individuals, ages 18‐24, which were enrolled in professional courses. Participants were choosing Using multistage, systematic random sampling and snowball sampling. Utilizing a pretested questionnaire, information on cardiovascular morbidity and sleep patterns was gathered. The total prevalence of insomnia was 28.61% in the current study., where all subjects (N=371) were divided into two groups on the basis of insomnia symptoms: subjects with inadequate (N=107) and adequate sleep (N=264). 02.01%, 18.51%, 43.21% and 40.15% of insomniac were in 20‐35 years, 36‐50 years, 51‐65 years and >65 years of age group and those with adequate sleep had 05.71%, 25.41%, 39.55% and 33.25% for the same age groups, respectively. This shows sleep adequacy declines as the age progresses with a higher prevalence of insomnia (82.41%) among the subjects >50 years. Early CVD prevention requires effective health promotion programmers that emphasize behavior and lifestyle changes. In order to lower CVD risk factors in this population, the study emphasizes the significance of early intervention and health promotion efforts. It is advised that behavior modification campaigns and community‐based studies be used to encourage sound sleeping practices and shield young adults outside of college from cardiovascular illnesses.
