Introduction:

The cardiovascular diseases (CVD) continue being the first reason of death in Spain. The obesity like one of the major factors of risk, it is the metabolic disease more prevalente of the developed world. This way so, in our study we have verified how it influences the incorporation of a service of nutrition in a company of the industrial sector, after the withdrawal of health-releated variables to a group of workers we observe the evolution of the above mentioned parameters, after the implantation of a program of physical daily exercise, and establishing guidelines of evaluation and follow-up, in order to evaluate if there are improvements in the health variables, obtaining a reduction in the factors of cardiovascular risk.

Objective:

To analyze the implantation of a service of nutrition in the company for the reduction of CVD’s factors in the workers.

Methodology:

Observacional longitudinally retrospectively, with analysis of the health variables related to the CVD obtained during the follow-up in the service of nutrition for 6 months.

Results:

significant differences appear on having analyzed some variables related to the CV risk between the basal measurement and to the measurement to 6 months, as the weight (t-student, P=0.002), BMI (t-student, P=0.002) and basal metabolism (t-student, P=0.000).

Discussion:

The introduction of a program of nutrition and exercise in a company of the industrial sector offers a reduction of the factors of cardiovascular risk (CVR), being the environment where we spend great quantity of our time, and facilitating the accessibility and adherence to the program.

Conclusions:

After the analysis of the results there is deduced that the realized intervention has obtained a significant decrease of the different parameters related to the CVR.
