title: [Occupational stress--risk factor in essential arterial hypertension].
abstract: The stress was recorded taking into consideration the epidemiological interview, using a standard methodology by filling in the type card the occupational stress (OS) and the family stress (FS). The constitutional factors (behaviour type A, body weight index > 25 Kg/m2) as well as the consumption in excess of salt, have significantly correlated themselves, both in individuals with OS and FS, and in those with the exclusively OS. The modification of biochemical constants (total cholesterol, triglycerides, total lipids, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol) significantly associate themselves in persons to which the presence of OS and FS, of the occupational one, respectively was put into evidence (chi 2 = 94.10 for 5 freedom degrees and p < 0.001, chi 2 = 118.94 and p < 0.001, respectively). The prevalence of persons with pathologic values of total lipids was 58.7%, of triglycerides 35.7%, of total cholesterol 12.7%, of LDL cholesterol 27%, and of HDL-cholesterol 44.4%. Measuring the values of systolic and diastolic arterial hypertension an increase above the normal values of limit systolic arterial hypertension at 23.8% and at 12.3% for illness systolic arterial hypertension was found. The evaluation of association of certain cardiovascular risking factors in individuals with occupational stress has permitted a global understanding, useful for the elaboration of some preventive programmes.
