                       inglés: Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the main
                       worldwide cause of death, In 2013 WHO established the
                       "Global Plan of Action for the Prevention and Control of
                       Non communicable Diseases 2013-2020". The aim is to reduce
                       by 2025 the number of deaths associated with non
                       communicable diseases by 25%, focusing specially on CVD.
                       Acting on behavioral risk factors such as tobacco use,
                       unhealthy diets and obesity, physical inactivity or harmful
                       alcohol consumption, can prevent most CVDs using strategies
                       that span the entire population. We carried out a
                       prospective, descriptive and evolutionary study of risk
                       factors and health habits in Veterinary Degree students of
                       the University of Zaragoza during the years 2006-2012,
                       carrying out a comparative analysis by sex and autonomous
                       communities. Significant differences were observed in BMI
                       degrees in the different sex, with a predominance of women
                       in low weight and men in overweight cases (p <0.001). In
                       the evolution over the years we found some significant
                       differences in the different risk factors, as from 2009
                       there was a clear decrease in smokers higher than 10
                       cigarettes day (p = 0.04) as well as a clear decrease of
                       women with excessive alcohol consumption (p = 0.018). It
                       was also found a significant increase in the median daily
                       fruit intake from 2009 (p = 0.012) and a notable decrease
                       in the percentage of prehypertensive and hypertensive
                       subjects in the last 3 years of the study (p = 0.015), from
                       around 50 % To 26%. In the comparative analysis by
                       different sex and autonomous communities, the predominance
                       of cardiovascular risk factors in men is significant,
                       except for the percentage of smokers, On the other hand
                       Andalusia is the community with the highest percentage of
                       almost all risk factors, although differences were only
                       significant in the daily consumption of fruit and
                       vegetables.",
