Resumen

ALVAREZ COLLADO, Laura; FRIAS INIESTA, Jesús; FERNANDEZ DE BOBADILLA OSORIO, Jaime  y  DIAZ ALMIRON, Mariana. Alterations of sensitivity to contrast and stereopsis in workers exposed to aromatic hydrocarbons. Rev Asoc Esp Espec Med Trab [online]. 2020, vol.29, n.4, pp.274-288.  Epub 08-Feb-2021.

Objective:

Cardiovascular diseases are the first cause of death worldwide and in Spain. The objective of this study was to research the classic cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF) in a population in Madrid Hospital La Paz by professional category, age and gender as well as to estimate the cardiovascular risk using the SCORE model for workers ≥40 years and with Relative Risk (RR) for under 40 years.

Material and Methods:

A descriptive observational retrospective study was carried out with a CVRF variables analysis in a 687 workers population at the Madrid HULP in 2016. Clinical, anthropometric, and sociodemographic variables were gathered. For the comparative analysis, Pearson´s Chi-squared or Fisher exact test were applied for the qualitative variables, and Kruskal-Wallis was used to determine the association between qualitative and quantitative variables. Cardiovascular risk was determined by SCORE and RR.

Results:

The sample was 687 workers (70,8% women and 29,2% men). Smoking prevalence was 21%, non-smoking (60%) and former smokers (19%). Dyslipidaemia: 58,8%. Arterial hypertension: 24,3%. Physical inactivity: 35,7%, with 3,8 ± 2hours/week of physical exercise. Obesity/overweigh:36,5%. DM: 4,5%. Alcohol: 37,8%. Cardiovascular risk calculation was determined by SCORE high/very high: 15,2% and RR=1 (83%), RR=2 (16%) and RR=3 (1%).

Conclusions:

A high CVRF prevalence was found in the subjects that came to the health surveillance screening, similar at the one in occupational and non-occupational studies that has been consulted. A higher prevalence of modifiable risk factors was found in management and services personnel and in medical technicians than in healthcare university graduates. And more as the age increases and in male gender.
