ABSTRACT

Introduction: cardiovascular risk factors are closely related to habits and lifestyles. Knowing its behavior in a health institution is very important due to its influence on the educational work those institutions must perform.
Objective: determine the level of cardiovascular risk among staff at a health care center according to the type of work carried out and to the working time in such institution.
Methods: a cross-sectional analytical study was designed. The population was staff of "Dr. Luis Diaz Soto" hospital, who were active during the study period (September 2012 - august 2013). A stratified random sample was taken, conforming groups of doctors, nurses and employees. The socio demographic, clinical and laboratory variables were considered. Groups were compared using student's t test, chi square and variance analysis.
Results: 49.8% (128 people) was identified to have tobacco addiction. 84.8% of the population declared to be sedentary. The lead body mass index in employees (mean: 28.6; DE: 4.9). Abdominal circumference was larger in women (87.8 cm vs. 83.1 cm). Metabolic syndrome was diagnosed in 34 subjects (13.2%). This metabolic syndrome increased as the number of years of work at the institution was higher.
Conclusions: there is higher cardiovascular risk in the population of workers of this hopsital. The metabolic syndrome takes is associated to the labor groups of lower educational level and the longer time of work in this institution.
