Aim: To assess the prevalence of those risk factors in a group of employees. Subjects and methods: We studied 2,219 individuals, 1,378 males with a mean age of 46.2±10.4 years and 841 females with a median age of 41.9±10.3 years. Results: High blood pressure was observed in 39.7% of men and in 21.8% of women. A serum cholesterol between 200 and 239 mg/dl was observed in 38% of men and 31.3% of women. A cholesterol over this value was seen in 23.7% of men and 18.8% of women. A low proportion of those with high blood pressure, or elevated cholesterol, were under treatment. Prevalence of smoking was high in men and women: 43.5 and 48.9.2%, respectively. Eighty four percent of men and 61.3% of women over 54 years were overweight or obese. The prevalence of diabetes mellitus was 4.5%. Twenty percent of men and 13% of women exercised regularly, at least 3 times a week. Conclusions: There is a high prevalence of untreated cardiovascular risk factors in this population (Rev Méd Chile 2003; 131: 129-34)info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSociedad Médica de SantiagoRevista médica de Chile v.131 n.2 20032003-02-01text/htmlhttp://www.scielo.cl/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0034-98872003000200001es10.4067/S0034-98872003000200001
