Apart from genetic factors, the cycle of the daily stresses in school forces students to develop risk factors causing many disorders such as prehypertension. The exact prevalence of hypertension among FEU-NRMF medical students are still unknown and although there are already established risk factors for this condition, studies have failed to identify which among these factors poses the greatest risk of having prehypertension, Therefore, this study would delve into the proportion of medical students who are pre-hypertensive, identify the most common risk factors, and determine what could be done to salvage the health of future health professionals. The research design is a cross-sectional with a sample of 156 third year medical students. Subjects were interviewed and questionnaires comprising the blood pressure reading, body mass index (BMI) family history, diet composition, alcohol and cigarette consumption, physical activity, sleep and stress factors were disseminated. Results were tabulated and analyzed using Microsoft Office Excel as well as computation of the frequency, proportion and mean, which were compared and evaluated. Among third year medical students in FEU-NRMF enrolled for the school year 2013-2014, 37% are pre-hypertensive. The following risk factors were more frequently observed among these pre-hypertensive: male sex, immediate relative with hypertension and dyslipidemia, first degree relative with hypertension and diabetes mellitus, alcohol consumption, cigarette smoking and sleep duration of less than 7-9 hours. These results are alarming & hence a follow-up study is required for further analysis.
