RAMIREZ INIGUEZ DE LA TORRE, MV; VICENTE HERRERO, MT; LOPEZ GONZALEZ, AA and CAPDEVILA GARCIA, L. Cardiovascular risk factor and its relationship with sociodemographic and laboral factors in aparently healthy workers. Rev Asoc Esp Espec Med Trab [online]. 2017, vol.26, n.4, pp.257-265. Epub Feb 12, 2024. ISSN 3020-1160.
Introduction:
An important percentage of the population does not know their cardiovascular risk, considering itself “apparently healthy”. Sociodemographic and labour factors can influence cardiovascular risk and the work environment is suitable for preventive actions.
Material and methods:
Descriptive and cross-sectional observational study of 55,064 workers during individual health surveillance. Sociodemographic and labour variables were recorded: Age, Sex, Level of education, Social class, Type of work and Healthy habits; Anthropometric, clinical and analytical parameters; Atherogenic indices; Metabolic syndrome; Cardiovascular risk; Age of Heart and Risk of Diabetes Mellitus Type
Results:
The prevalence of altered parameters related to cardiovascular risk, the percentage of workers with Metabolic Syndrome, Cardiovascular risk and the risk of developing no insulin dependent diabetes, are higher than expected in an apparently healthy population. In conclusion, sociodemographic and occupational variables show an influence on the level of CVD and the development of type 2 DM.
Keywords : prevention; occupational health; cardiovascular risk; diabetes Mellitus risk.
