Prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors among office workers

Abstract

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) remain the main cause of disability and mortality in many countries in the world. Among the CVD, hypertension (AH) and ischemic heart disease (IHD) are most common. The effectiveness of preventing CVD directly depends on how timely and accurately the risk factors (FR) are identified that contribute to the occurrence of heart and vascular diseases, this risk is assessed, and how early the prevention will be started. Modifiable (variable) factors of cardiovascular risk (CVR) include: hypertension, smoking, hypodynamia, obesity, stress. In order to study the incidence of CVR factors, a one-stage epidemiological study was conducted among 625 office workers using the example of one of the banking institutions of the Republic of Belarus. Analysis of the modified factors of CVR in the employees of the office enterprise showed their high prevalence: the level of SBP is more than 140/90 mm Hg. Art. revealed in 36.64% of individuals, of whom 78–77% of persons had an AH history; smoking was detected in 20.48%; obesity – in 19.84%; a low level of physical activity – in 61.44%.
In order to prevent CVD, it seems necessary to develop measures in organized labor collectives aimed at correcting these CVR factors, as well as to increase the responsibility of workers themselves for the appearance of those risk factors that are associated with their lifestyle.
