Abstract

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, including in Central Asian countries. This study investigates the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases among university students in the Republic of Karakalpakstan, identifies major risk factors, and proposes early detection and preventive strategies. The research is based on epidemiological analysis, screening data, and literature review. The findings indicate that modifiable risk factors such as physical inactivity, poor nutrition, smoking, and stress are highly prevalent among student populations. Early screening and health education programs are essential to reduce the burden of CVDs. The study emphasizes the need for region-specific preventive measures adapted to socio-economic and environmental conditions.
