Abstract
To evaluate different cardiovascular risk scales in construction workers. A descriptive, cross-sectional study was carried out in 56,262 Spanish construction workers. Scales of obesity and fatty liver, metabolic syndrome, atherogenic indices, and cardiovascular risk scales, among others, were assessed. In women, 19.6% were obese, 18.2% hypertensive, 12.6% had metabolic syndrome, 12% were at high risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and 4.3% were at moderate or high risk on the SCORE scale. In men, 20.1% were obese, 30.1% hypertensive, 17.5% had metabolic syndrome, and 27.6% had high or moderate risk on the SCORE scale. Knowing the cardiovascular risk of a large number of construction workers by means of a large number of scales may be of great interest to occupational health professionals, as it may enable them to establish prevention strategies.
