摘要
College students shift from being adolescents to becoming adults, and they are more likely to embrace habits that increase the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). India has 253 million teenagers and is the second-most populous nation in the world. The current situation in India shows that young people there are at risk for CHD-related diseases. The long-term CHD risk in the future is highly predicted by the current risk factors in young people. The purpose of the current study is to describe all the research that was done among Indian college students to show the depth of CHD exposure in young people. This analysis emphasizes the demand for better risk assessment techniques and more youth awareness among Indians. The evidence of the persistence of CHD risk factors in these college-bound students comes from various cross-sectional studies. However, they are largely modifiable risk factors for diabetes, hypertension, and CHD that are very common among India's student population. These CHD risks can be changed in 80% of cases. Therefore, a community-based approach will be helpful in this multicultural nation to prevent CHD. To correctly identify and manage CHD, increased screening should play a crucial role in tandem with education.
