Abstract
The present study aims to evaluate the prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), biochemical and anthropometric indicators, and lifestyle among 10 occupational groups. The sample included 4,818 men aged 35-65 years. The occupational group is based on the International Standard Classification of Occupations (ISCO). The highest prevalence of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) was observed in managerial occupational groups (18.62%) and technicians and associate professionals (14%), respectively. Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) were more in skilled agricultural, forestry, and fishery workers, as well as craft-related trades workers, and elementary occupations. The highest body mass index (BMI) was related to the managers. NCDs were higher in managers, while MSDs belonged to farmers and workers. Finally, lifestyle modification can help reduce NCDs and improve biochemical markers by increasing physical activity.
