Determining the cardiovascular risk factors is essential for the primary and secondary prevention of circulatory system diseases.
To obtain the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors in a population of industry workers in Brazil.
Transversal cohort study, with a sociodemographic interview to identify cardiovascular risk factors, anthropometric and blood pressure measurements and capillary blood collection for blood glucose, cholesterol and triglyceride measurement in food industry workers of both sexes.
A total of 1,047 workers were assessed, with 913 (87%) of them being males, with a mean age of 36 +/- 8 years. The frequency of a sedentary lifestyle was 83% and of overweight, 63%. Systemic arterial hypertension was identified in 28% of the individuals and 45% were in the pre-hypertension range. Alterations in the blood glucose levels were identified in 49% of the participants, as well as high levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in 7% and 11% of the population, respectively. The body mass index (BMI) levels were not associated to income, but there was an inverse association with the level of schooling.
Overweight and a sedentary lifestyle are the main cardiovascular risk factors in a population of industry workers.
确定心血管危险因素对于循环系统疾病的一级和二级预防至关重要。
了解巴西产业工人人群中心血管危险因素的患病率。
横向队列研究，通过社会人口学访谈确定心血管危险因素，对男女食品行业工人进行人体测量、血压测量以及采集毛细血管血样以测量血糖、胆固醇和甘油三酯。
共评估了1047名工人，其中913名（87%）为男性，平均年龄为36±8岁。久坐不动生活方式的发生率为83%，超重的发生率为63%。28%的个体被诊断为系统性动脉高血压，45%处于高血压前期范围。49%的参与者血糖水平出现异常，7%的人群胆固醇水平升高，11%的人群甘油三酯水平升高。体重指数（BMI）水平与收入无关，但与受教育程度呈负相关。
超重和久坐不动的生活方式是产业工人人群中主要的心血管危险因素。
