title: [Atherogenic indices in workers of different occupational sectors of the Spanish Mediterranean area].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Atherogenic indices predict cardiovascular disease, as they provide a good reflection of the clinical and metabolic interactions of lipid fractions.
  
  
  METHODS
  A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 60,798 workers in the Spanish Mediterranean area on whom different atherogenic indices (cholesterol/HDL, LDL/HDL, triglycerides/HDL) were determined, and the influence they have in the different productive work sectors.
  
  
  RESULTS
  In women, the mean values of the different atherogenic indices are better in the health sector, while they are better in men in the primary sector. The percentage of working women with low values is also greater in the healthcare sector, while in men there is no clear predominant sector, with the best values being shown in the hospitality and primary sector.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The distribution of cardiovascular risk factors and the values of the different atherogenic indices analyzed vary in different industrial sectors.
