title: [Risk assessment of arterial hypertension in a working population].
abstract: During last years life expectation and working-life are increased and, consequently, the evaluation of workers whit chronic age-related diseases is more frequent than in the previous decades. We analyzed 9616 (2337 females and 7279 males) medical reports collected during health surveillance. Workers with arterial hypertension were 1770 (254 females and 1516 males) with an average age of 49.02 years +/- 9.52, and an average BMI of 27.9 +/- 4.43 Kg/m_. Workers who reported a complete fitness-to-work certification were 88.6%, ones with a fitness-to-work certification whit limitations were 11.2%, and only 0.2% were unfit to work. Our data confirm the importance of company strategies oriented to health promotion on the workplaces considering the progressive ageing of the workforces.
