Cardiometabolic risk assessment in 28300 spanish waiters

Abstract

[eng] Introduction and objectives: Cardiometabolic pathologies are highly prevalent and will cause high morbimortality throughout the world. These pathologies are multifactorial and have been related in some cases to sociodemographic factors. The aim of this study is to assess the cardiometabolic risk in a group of workers such as waiters who have been little or not studied at all. Methods: Descriptive, cross sectional study of 28300 Spanish waiters in which different scales of cardiometabolic risk such as obesity, insulin resistance, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, metabolic syndrome, atherogenic indices or cardiovascular risk scales such as SCORE, REGICOR or vascular age were assessed. Results: There was a high prevalence of high values for the different cardiometabolic risk scales analyzed, especially in men, this being particularly relevant since the mean age of the participants was low, 36 years in men and 33.9 years in women. Conclusions: The waiters, who belong to the group of manual workers, present a high prevalence of cardiometabolic risk scales such as obesity, insulin resistance, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease or metabolic syndrome.
