Non-communicable diseases are the main cause of mortality worldwide, with risk factors that contribute to their development, including those associated with work activity.
To evaluate the prevalence of risk factors related to the development of non-communicable diseases and their relationship with work activity in professional load transport drivers.
Eighty male truck drivers were assessed (39.73±10.91 years) with 15.22±12.09 years of professional experience. In addition to collection of anthropometric data and measurement of blood data, drivers answered three questionnaires: Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire, Coronary Risk, and Finnish Diabetes Risk Score. Descriptive and inferential analyses were performed using Pearson correlation and Student's test, considering a significance level of p < 0.05.
The results showed a prevalence of arterial hypertension of 31.30% and a medium coronary risk (46.30%), a factor that was directly associated with time of professional performance (r = 0.519; p < 0.05). Of the 80 truck drivers, 48.80% were physically inactive, 73.80% were overweight, and 7.50% had a high risk for the development of diabetes.
The professional category studied presents an excess risk for health problems in the context of non-communicable diseases due to the peculiar characteristics of their profession.
非传染性疾病是全球主要死因，其发展的风险因素包括与工作活动相关的因素。
评估与非传染性疾病发展相关的风险因素的患病率及其与专业载重运输司机工作活动的关系。
对80名男性卡车司机进行评估（年龄39.73±10.91岁，专业经验15.22±12.09年）。除收集人体测量数据和测量血液数据外，司机还回答了三份问卷：身体活动准备情况问卷、冠心病风险问卷和芬兰糖尿病风险评分问卷。采用Pearson相关性分析和学生t检验进行描述性和推断性分析，显著性水平设定为p < 0.05。
结果显示动脉高血压患病率为31.30%，冠心病风险中等（46.30%），该因素与职业表现时间直接相关（r = 0.519；p < 0.05）。在80名卡车司机中，48.80%身体活动不足，73.80%超重，7.50%有患糖尿病的高风险。
由于所研究职业类别的特殊性质，在非传染性疾病背景下，该职业群体存在健康问题的额外风险。
